If they are small then they are a few miles away from me; if they are bigger they are a few feet away from me. <br /><br />For example, when I am out walking, I look at the nearest person and then every so often I turn round to see how smaller they get as I distance myself from them. <br /><br />Of course, this does not always work if they also start moving. If they walk away from me they become smaller quicker and so mess up my calculations of how far I have walked. If they walk towards me, as if following me, they retain their height and therefore give the impression that I am not walking at all, although I really am. If they walk faster than me and therefore get bigger faster this gives the impression that I am walking backwards rather than forwards. If they get into a shop I lose sight of them and it messes up all my calculations. <br /><br />All this walking and looking backwards has an additional disadvantage in that I bump into trees and lamp posts.<br /><br />Life can be difficult at times, often, always. <br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
