There can be no ‘peaceful’ co-existence with types such as these, individuals and groups whose ‘aura’, whose ‘life energy’, whose VERY ESSENCE AND CONTINUED SURVIVAL is existentially plugged into the business of draining away/feeding off of the life energy of others. Like vampires that exist only by drinking the lifeblood of their victims, there can be no ‘live and let live’ with these types, anymore so than there can be ‘friendship’ between the deer who drinks at the river’s edge and the crocodile hiding beneath the waterline and moving closer to his hoped-for meal, slowly, inch by inch.
