A Slidefiguration

“Slidefiguration”

Sometimes we can become so calloused in our hearts that we begin to see other people in a slidefiguration (from the Heath McConnell dictionary).

A slidefiguration is when you no longer see the person because you are so absorbed in your own world it is as if your two worlds slide against each other. You can never see with clarity, the sharpness (as in a tack sharp picture) in their eyes… just a smudged image of a being.
