There's a lot to be expounded on such a topic. Yes. I love to watch people. This may or may not be a potentially creepy thing, but humans are so fascinating.
Often, I feel as if I'm an alien visitor to this planet, here to do anthropological studies on your species and on the experience of being human... Having a body, having eyes, a brain, thoughts, having to work through reality and it's gestures to manifest something.
Manifest, that's a word that has been a repetitious record lately.
Voyeurism may not be the description I'm looking for here... I often think of it as being somewhat dangerous. To people watch, you are actively paying attention and thoughts towards individuals, perhaps attempting practice in non-judgment and accepting people as they are.
But if that person you are watching falls, and you don't go to help them, there's something wrong. Active participation is component of community.
Community itself is a huge part of this project. My isolation has melted away, feeling often alone and confused by Flick's potential reality, and the image and ideas being limited to my skull alone.
Through participation, through opening up, through vulnerability... I've made connections.
