See and Believe!

Even though we may have eyes to see, for one reason or another, we fail to properly perceive all that may be happening around us. Nowadays we are concerned with so many things that it influences the longitude and latitude of our global vision.

It also happens with our capacity to listen. Someone may be talking to us and we may be a million miles away. Being distracted from what's happening in the here and now is quite a common phenomena and happens to the best of us!

This implies that at times we are not in the best situation to notice things as they are occuring. Instead of a "live" event we may view situations "playback". Also, we may fail to perceive the reasoning or motives behind an action. We can have our eyes fixed on one thing alone and fail to spot all that surrounds us.

The point of all this: prior to making a judgment, or being critical of someone, let's be pretty darn sure of the whole event. Let's not make misinterpretations or confuse things with our own ideas. A good judge always recognizes the limits of his own scope of vision and acknowledges that things may not be as they appear. He will carefully analyze all judgments for any "foreign objects" that could render his judgment as false!

Yarm's thought: Whilst we must try to visualize things as they really are, it is even more important to use our eyes with love and compassion, otherwise I doubt if we are seeing things as they truly are! This I believe is the greater truth,
