Blind
Imagine you close your eyes on the footpath and wait for the traffic to stop. When you hear the walk buzzer, you know from previous experience that you can cross.
As your eyes have remained closed, you don’t see the car unaware of the light change.
Our blind acceptance of some situations and theories around us cause injury and sometimes fatalities. Metaphorically speaking, we can refute the damages caused by saying that you were in the right, but it comes back to choices. With choices, there are consequences. No rights. No wrongs.
Parents and guardians are responsible for much how we have formed our thinking, much like the upper rung of society layering its belief systems over us. Life experience helps us moderate some behaviours, hopefully, for the better.
There is no secret handshake required to get into the open mind society. When you value life and love in their truest form and/or have perhaps loved, the only feeling we should have a slight glaucoma with, to the point of pain, you may enter.
Blaming others for decisions or carrying grudges for decades is like crossing a road with your eyes closed. You may not get hit the first time, nor the second, but one day you will not make it to the other side of the road.
It’s easy to blame others for what doesn’t work, but the reward for resolving to absolve blame is immense.
Beau and Chick have begun their learning about blame and blind faith. The difference between these two mini men and some of the ‘adults’ I see around me is incredible.
They are learning to stop blaming each other for leaving the Wii disc on the floor and I’ve noticed less blaming around the house in general.
Also front of my mind are community groups which don’t allow blind acceptance of rules and society values and are getting laws and minds changed. To those people, thank you for your passion and your will to make a difference.
