"Beware of the neighbor" by Erik Pevernagie, Oil on canvas, 80 x 100cm - xx

A world without dialogue is a universe of darkness. If people don't get together and share views and exchange ideas, they remain unaware, ignorant, and unconscious. As they live in a space they don't understand, everything becomes meaningless, incoherent, and forcefully scary.

If fear rules our lives, we lose the core of our being since 'fear' disrupts our existence's schedule and blocks the waves of sound vibrations.

Emotional predictive profiling may help identify contingent fissures in the stature of endangered relationships. In advance of scouting the causes of furtive subliminal convulsions, let the genie out of problematic bottles.

If we can step back at times and have the guts to carve doubt in the concrete stone of our certainties, we can hear the beat of a thinking heart. While listening to the stirring of our deep selves and striving to squeeze through the thicket of our intentions, we may find an atoning venue of understanding and sympathy.

Neighborship may entail limits, barriers, and fences. Those obstacles can mean protection or conjure up feelings of exclusion and create inhibitions and frustrations. When there is ambiguity, there is anxiety, and when there is fear, people become suspicious.

A ball is a symbol of a playful act. But it might become a sign of hostility if experienced as an annoying intrusion. It may lead then to unfriendly or aggressive conduct.

All in all, if people don't want to play ball, insisting on complete privacy, they must notify it clearly and peacefully through dialogue.

"A world without dialogue is a universe of darkness."
