Chains

I am standing on top of a hill with Yuko the inter-dimensional witch from the anime series XXXholic and Tsubasa Chronicle. We are observing people down the hill. All of them are hanging their heads down. My sight increases and I see energetic chains bond to them all and to one another. I see Sam walk past me... she gives me a blank expression as if I'm not there. She's also in chains and joins the other people below.

"OMG what's happening with them Yuko?"

"Your seeing the chains of bondage that people put themselves and each other under."

The crowd whispers to themselves things like, "I don't deserve happiness, My fate is linked to this."

"Is there anyway to break them free from their chains?" I ask.

"Not really. Once a person surrenders themselves to bondage the chains become almost too strong to break. Each Person has it within themselves to break themselves free. But each wish has it's price. As you've witnessed with Sam. Even in the face her most precious wishes coming true she refuses them because she is not willing to pay the price. Therefore she has chained herself with her own words and is also chained by her families wishes."

"Hasn't she already payed the price of her wish by her years of loneliness?"

"That is part of the price yes. But that's not enough for her wish to come true. For every wish that is granted, each person pays an equal price. The price she must pay for her own happiness with a man she truly loves like you, is losing the love and support of her entire family. While it's true she would be loved and accepted in your family, she would still lose her family."

I ask, "Is there anything that could be done for her?'

"All you can do is say your peace to her and leave her be. You've given her every tool that she needs to free herself from this prison, all she needs to do is ask for help and her wish will be granted, but for now this is what she has chosen. You keep talking to her based on something that is becoming a false hope. meanwhile You are not finding peace... you aren't giving her peace. And if your not careful you'll be bound in the same chains that she is in because slowly you are noticing that her negativity is getting to you. Now it's you who has trouble sleeping, now it's you who's in danger of giving up your wish."

i am still staring at the scene when I wake up.
