I was reading something about Charles Manson and human predators. Chills went up and down my spine.
It was not totally because of Charles Manson but because of human predators, period.
The things I read is what I lived without the killings…just about human predator's. A predator is a predator of which means and for what purpose they want something, a life, a soul, your money, whatever it is they want.
They want something we have. They may have no intentions of harm but if it is something they want and is beneficial to them or necessary they are very capable of taking it and will. you must consider their predisposition to harm when choosing how to defend against them—assume the worse.
It is their way of life (attacking) and they train for it just as we would train such as we do with martial arts. They train daily and are good at it. When we deal with it we are at the disadvantage. We train in case of something that might happen; they train to make sure it happens. You have to know their tactics to deal with them. Be capable of defending against them and be willing to do whatever it takes to defend against them.
We are rookies to these professionals.
We are prey. We are not one of them which makes them consider we are something that may be preyed upon. They will use whatever is necessary to get what they want from us. Even if it means harming us with little regret or none at all. We are prey. Some may deeply regret after the harm but only for the first few minutes.
They have observed us and know what must be done to overcome us. They will have planned their approach and method of attack with plans of what they will do even if it goes wrong. They may run or they may use others as their method of attack (through proxy).
If we have been selected as victim it means that probably something in our behavior, circumstances, has indicated that we may be a good victim. When our instincts tell us something is wrong, trust them, act accordingly. As adults we may act different then a child but even the children act accordingly, with silence, cleaning, taking whatever they have to give out and defending themselves this way by just doing as they want. The circumstance may be you are their child.
They rely on our fears, our vulnerabilities to take us down. They count on our fear/vulnerabilities causing us in action. We have to control it/hide it so we do not appear as prey, and if, the attack comes you must channel your fear into fierce counter attack. A child cannot do this.
You cannot talk or soothe a charging wolf. You cannot reason with an unreasonable person. It's a waste of time. The best time to talk is after you have eliminated the threat. They cannot be threatened or frightened . They have faced all kinds of dangers and survived so nothing we will do will discourage them.
This is true with N friend. There has been intervention and she is not threatened or frightened. She's more determined.
Even showing them how you will defend yourself will not discourage them it will just make them more determined. The way to stop them is to remove them from your life. Children cannot always do this.
Humans learn from their mistakes, they make the same over and over. A predator does not need to be better then everyone else. Just better then you.
