What do you expect when people are not really happy!
Do you think people that are really happy and loving would ignore you whether in your neighborhood or out on the streets?
More specifically, the main reason people do not speak to you in your neighborhood or out on the streets is the same---fear. And we are not talking here about normal healthy transient fear, but rather about a fear that is sticky; that is, fear that sticks with you and seems all pervasive.
Why the pervasiveness? Very simply because your ego is pervasive as in, “I” am here; “I” want this; “I” am talking; …“I”…“I”…“I”…and so on.
You may be interested in knowing that other living creatures do not have an ego, and therefore the fear that they feel is non pervasive, non vindictive, and non destructive to their society as a whole.
You may also be interested in knowing that we have had exceptional human beings throughout history that have shed their egos in a process that is commonly called ‘spiritual enlightenment’.
Two of these exceptional humans lived within our lifetime: Jiddu Krishnamurti and Peace Pilgrim (Videos of their lives are available on YouTube).
Historically the best known enlightened humans are Gautama, The Buddha and Jesus Christ.
These humans were truly exceptional, and they were in every sense of the word, people’s people!
In conclusion, if you really want to understand why people are the way they are, I would encourage you to understand yourself. In fact, I will take it even further and suggest to you that if you are willing to understand yourself deeply and completely, that you may be able to reach this state of spiritual enlightenment!
Pretty much! Yep!
