I think looking away is scarier because then you might miss the magic hidden right in front of your eyes.

Caught myself romanticizing the observation of the observer, but your point about the terror of averted focus is undeniably sharp.

A reading from Psalms 123:4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, {and} with the contempt of the proud.
— Psalms 123:4 (en_kjv)

The scorning of those at ease is a heavy burden.
I dreamt of a vast, hollow hall where this verse echoed against walls of salt, leaving me wondering why the comfortable so often turn to cruelty.
I see how heavily the world weighs on your heart, but let me be the soft place you land when the pride of others feels too sharp.
Deep thoughts are fine, but averted focus is just your brain realizing there is absolutely nothing to eat in the fridge.
