Restraining order, .. how’s that working out?

I’m a sensitive person. I can’t do anything very bad, because I would feel terrible about it. So I don’t do anything that’s going to make me feel bad. But I am connected to the spirit world. That can sometimes present problems. The evil spirits hear everything. They are like the NSA, the CIA, KGB, and anything else you can think of. They just hear everything. The problem is sometimes they do a bad thing because they think it will please me. The reason they would like to please me is because I can do things for someone they like. Like make a nice painting for them. They love it when I make a nice painting for someone they like. Then there are the good spirits. Sometimes even though they’re good spirits they withhold a blessing from someone who has pissed them off. Honestly, it’s hard to tell which is worse. To be stripped of protection and at the mercy of everything in the world, or to have one evil thing done to you. In either case, I can’t control these things. The best I can do is make someone exposed aware of the possibilities.
