The Blurred Presence

Some people have a blurred presence. For some reason, so many thoughts and bands of feeling criss-cross simultaneously in their personalities that you can never, finally, decide where you are with them. Their presence is distracted and confused. There is no line or contour you can finally follow. Such presences are usually self-absorbed and have neither clarity nor a sense of clearance around them to enable them to attend or engage with anyone else. When such a person is manager or chairperson of a group or company, there is neither vision nor an effective or clear resolution of anything.
