WHAT DO WE SEE?
Monday, Mar. 9, 2020
Seeing something in someone else is easy – we just look.
People reveal so much, it’s usually not difficult. But when we see in someone else, something which is a huge failing or disaster in ourselves, I think we tend to dismiss or ignore it completely, as if it was both invisible and inconsequential at the same time – as if it did not exist.
Our obvious public personas are on display 24/7 whether we’ve flipped some ON/OFF switch or not, they can be our greatest strength or greatest failing – possibly both.
We are who we are, whether we try to forget it or deny it, there is no changing it, unless …
Unless something else, or someone else, matters more to us than ourselves – this can be a calling of some sort, a passion, but most likely it is someone we love. Logic v. illogical does not come into it when the emotional tug is so clear, so unmistakable. We find it with our children, and with few others, where that feeling is strong.
We can overcome anything if it matters.
And if it doesn’t matter, we likely never will.
Reader feedback:
Dr. Gifford-Jones and others tell us that intravenous vitamin C can cure us, if and when we get it, but western medicine doesn’t use it. I agree completely we live in a new world and it appears we aren’t doing enough to contain this. Too bad we’ve let big government and big business take over, with little resistance, and they don’t have our interests at heart. It may become a terrible lesson, but do we humans ever learn (and remember) from history, LH, Lethbridge, AB
I am following Covid-19 with somewhat morbid fascination. Feels like watching a train wreck in slow motion. The hope is that the fatality rate is not higher than the Spanish flu’s 2.5%. That number translates into a lot of death and dying, RH, Calgary, AB/from Bradenton, FL
