obvious vs. oblivious

Photography only differs to comic books in that, that it doesn't take the effort to fool you to the extension of showing even the most horrible things as cool and good-looking. Yet, the pictures we take are missing to reveal, for instance, how much suffering is included in the construction of a great building. Which again is a good example of how human beings can be turned into an organic machinery. But again, in all organic lives, and even in that which seems to be unorganic, there's a whole lot of pain and struggling, as part of making it what it is.
The question is, when will we reach the point to use our organic mind to avoid all the useless hurt, instead of causing it. Since we can achieve technical wonders unthinkable of before, wouldn't this only be a matter of attitude and will?

The Guys with the Strange Eyes

Why are they always looking down,
like they couldn't take it anymore?
Or is it just a mood, like a frown,
maybe they have too much to think of?

Pennywise

Can the evil clown from The Dreamcatcher be an elderly woman? Yes, of course. Just as much as it could be me or you. It's our choice how we behave.
Well, it was me who named her, only in my head, like this. She had a strange red color to the remnants of her hair that spred out into all direction. She loved to go around and shout, yes literally shout, remarks all over the office. Even personal ones. Not directly, she didn't have the bravado to that.
When I started to work there I used to say Hello! and Good morning! every day when I arrived just as everyone would. Right after that the guy who had trained me left the company, one morning when I entered and said hi, she screamed as if an ironing desk fell on her foot (bet I wish). Her problem was that I didn't look into her eyes while saying hello. Now, there's quite a few people sitting in such a big room, and I meant it for all of them. And though she didn't say this to me in the eyes either, she made sure I heard her.
So after this I didn't say hi when she was there, however I greeted her when we met in the kitchen, in the corridor or other places of the building. Aaand surely looked her in the eyes. I thought this would make her understand that I didn't mean any bad that day. In case she really meant to adress that drama to me, which seemed to be the case. As she only seemed to get completely confused now.
Soon after I heard her telling someone that she would then do this or that to make someone hate her even more, because she knew that she was hated by that person. Is that a psychiatric case or what? Who in their right mind would want to be hated by others?
Honestly, I know it's not the right thing to comment on how other people look like. But one thing I will never forget about this person is her eyes, blinking small and I would say it, yes, evil, nearly all the time. I have no idea why.
