More choices in those days

[Laurasia]

I find it interesting that there was such.....squabbling amongst the Jewish residents of Poland. Of course I am fully aware of the discord about the Jewish population amongst much of the Christian Polish residents (as evidenced by the fact that when we first came into Poland we often didn't need to do most of the "dirty work" ourselves, the residents were more than happy to do it for us), but I was unaware that there was such dissent amongst the Jewish residents themselves.

Sincerely,

Oh yes, they did not always get along!! Even though I did not really remember much arguing from that lifetime, my current father who is half Polish said the exact same thing. Yes yes, many of the Christian Poles were happy to do the job! When the SS took us away from our apartment, we had a Christian neighbor watching the whole thing and she never liked us too (for obvious reasons) but watched us get taken away from our comfort quite happily. Well, she must have perished at some point not long after anyway because I found out.. long story but I found out she was a classmate that had it in for me in grade 6! And it was a true mutual dislike because I didn't care for her from the moment I met her as well. And later that year she turned my friends against me and told them not to be friends with me, of course they listened. Even though I didn't like her, I never said anything mean to her and she had the need to be so nasty and deceitful. I know this happens often in junior high and in high school but.. wow it was more to it in this case than simply that. She thankfully left the school in grade 7 (gosh horrible time of this life!! thank goodness those days are over) and then lo and behold she was sitting at the desk behind me in grade 9 English, first day of high school. I was far from happy and quite unpleasantly surprised but she was so friendly. I was shocked and figured since I was older and more mature, I would give her a chance. And we did hang out for a few months until she started judging me again, and then I got nasty with her and then she pulled the same thing, turned people against me. Thankfully she left the school in grade 10 and I saw her a few years ago in the community centre where I took my daughter who was 3 or 4 at the time for a kiddy program...and I barely looked at her. I don't even think she noticed me. I asked one of my intuitive friends about her and what the deal was about her being all friendly to me in the early days of grade 9. I was told that her soul and my soul had agreed to meet up to heal past life anger that I felt towards her and the disgust she felt towards me (and my family in Warsaw). We were meant to heal in grade 6, but it did not happen, then the chance was given again in grade 9, it ALMOST happened but was not at all successful at the end. I really don't see myself connecting with her again but you never know. At least I am evolved enough now to understand there was such nastiness between us and why we failed to form a friendship. And if I do see her, I certainly now know how to handle the situation with her differently.
