Just curious 4>19

For years I've had neighbours/landlords that I end up in conflict with at some level. Not always but mostly. I bought into mentally, emotionally and self righteously causing myself some unnecessary stress and trauma. But now tbh I've learned to just not give a sh**.

So latest scenario - I moved into this rental 3 months ago. It's a house with a flat underneath and I rent the flat whilst close relatives (who are in their mid 50's) of the landlord have lived upstairs for 15 years. My flat has always been a holiday flat but with COVID the landlord obviously wanted a certainty he was getting an income. I get on extremely well with the landlord although it's not often I see him or talk to him after initially having a few issues after moving.
When I first moved in the tenants upstairs kept using my outside electricity point and even though I took fair and appropriate measures to stop them they just kept doing it at the same time as being friendly and up for a chat. In the end I spoke to the landlord and he said let me sort it out and he did but he had to speak to them twice about it. Since then I have no interest in passing the time of the day or saying hello to them. The male tenant mows the lawns at least once a week and for some reason always seems to have the need to look through my windows, which he's done since the day I moved in, so I've taken to shutting all the blinds when he's mowing.
I just do my own thing, mind my own business and if our paths cross I stay silent. I don't care about it, have no emotional attachment to the whole thing and see no reason why we can't just live in this situation without drama.

Anyway it's obvious they're not happy about things because they've started to started staring in my windows if they go past or come outside when I'm hanging up the washing and looking at me, which I think is funny so I'm curious to what motivates this behaviour.

What is their intention in this behaviour Hex 4.1.6>19

I can't get much from this reading except they're trying to 'punish' me!

However if it's suggesting they want to be friends with me or I should be open to amends that's not going to happen. I have no interest - I didn't like them particularly before this all came to pass so it's done me a favour.

I would be inclined to take this answer as talking to you about punishing them. That is they may see you as punishing them by not talking to them. Both lines 1 and 6 are to do with how to handle the ignorant, I think both tell you restraints that are too harsh/fetters/handcuffs are regrettable. Line 6 says this so clearly, from Hilary's book

'Striking the ignoramus,
Fruitless to act like an enemy,
Fruitful to resist enmity.'



However if it's suggesting they want to be friends with me or I should be open to amends that's not going to happen.

Um I'm afraid what I think the reading is suggesting is that they do want to be friends with you and with the 19 there I don't think you can go on holding them at arms length :) With this cast I just can't see a state of ....I can't think of the word....checkmate/stalemate lasting. Also this is 4 and there's much that either they or you don't know. They may be looking up at the window because they are curious or they just don't get or understand your position with them. The 19 makes me feel you will be reintroduced to each other.

Hahahaha well okay - we'll see what happens.
I think when someone stands outside your window, seeks you out in the garden or sits outside in their car staring at you it's not just curiosity.

they just don't get or understand your position with them
Electricity theft is a real thing and they can be fined for doing it. I don't understand how they don't get it - They tried to be blatantly underhanded - why would I give them the time of day????

But if something happens to change the situation.....

As I said it's not a loss to me.

Well Yi may be being outrageously optimistic...... :cool:

I mean it just seems like a cast where if they are staring in ignorance (4) you'd say "can I help you with anything ?" (19). I mean 19 comes nearer towards...I guess it could show them approaching you in ignorance....I don't know

Hahahaha well maybe Yi is and in the bigger picture it's better to not have this in ones environment but the thing I've now learned is the more settled you are in yourself, the more things don't bother you.

They think I've a problem with people looking in at me as they initially said something to me about how I keep the blinds across, but it's not really that. My flats windows are very exposed to the neighbours surrounding me and as we live in a very hot climate I tend to wear not much when I'm at home (why would you when you live on your own) so I'm stopping the neighbours from getting a fright tbh hahahaha
Anyway when I realised yesterday they'd upped the staring thing I went around and opened all my blinds so they can see right in now, I'll just work around it for a few days and see if it changes their behaviour - they need to get over themselves, glad I'm not living in their heads!!

Yes! Open your blinds and do the laundry in your underwear! That'll give them something to stare at! :eek:
