THE EYES HAVE IT
Take a look around you. Now cover your right eye and look carefully at the scene or some specific object. Then cover your left eye and look carefully at it. You will notice that it appears a little different each time, though you may need to switch back and forth a few times before you appreciate this fully. It is apparent that what anything “is” depends on the point of view, and it makes no sense to assert that any particular view is “THE ONE AND ONLY TRUTH”.
If this is the case when we consider the two eyes in a single head, think what this implies when we start to consider all the eyes in all the different heads there are.
Of course some folk only have one eye, and some folk have poor sight or else their vision is distorted in some way, while other folk are completely blind. It would be foolish, surely, to argue with them about the “Truth”. Perhaps an approach to the question with a little more understanding and compassion might be appropriate.
TRUTH
The truth is always a work in progress; laziness in this respect is of course less than helpful.
TAKE CARE
Each moment I spend with another may just be the last. Just so for you too. Let us therefore be mindful and take care of one another.
JUDGEMENT II
If you must insist upon judging a person, judge them not by their action, but by their intention.
Their intention, remember, not your assumptions about their intention.
NEW BEGINNINGS
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
