Vision is a funny thing.
Not the big picture, corporate speak, plaque on the wall type vision.
Many people claim to be visionaries and have the ability to see things in unique ways and think big.
I am literally talking about the ability to see. But unfortunately many people are unable to see clearly. Their vision is cloudy, fuzzy or totally blinded.
Our eyes are a great tool to see what is in front of us and at times around us. But our eyes can play tricks on us. And eyesight is only a small part of vision.
The world around us has been full of deception since Adam and Eve succumbed to the original "false advertising campaign."
Amateur magicians have the ability to use deception and slight of hand to fool spectators into thinking they can really make a quarter appear from behind a suspects ear.
Have you ever seen behind the scenes footage from movies or TV shows? Boring, boring, boring. Movie magic takes the unspectacular and mundane and with CG, editing, music and many other tricks of the trade they turn boring stuff into spectacles that thrill the masses for hours and hours.
Some people even think the news media uses tricks, editing and manipulation to help people "see" certain points of view.
And these are just the obvious things that can impact vision and how we visualize things in our world.
Consider the impact of the way we were raised, prejudices and preferences, religious and spiritual beliefs, where we were born, our financial status, who we associate with, our education, and any other overt or covert brainwashing we have been subjected to.
How can we increase our odds of having clear vision and being able to see what is around us without a skewed or blinded viewpoint?
It would be easy to say "question everything." But having an inquisitive mindset seems to be the basis for clear sight. It keeps one from getting lazy and comfortable.
Look. Imagine. Pull the curtain back. Ask questions. Be careful not to assume or judge. Pray for clarity. Be open minded. Be observant. Don't be repetitive. Travel. Explore. Be an adventurer. Meet new people. Experience other cultures.
My desire is to be able to see all that is around me.
Imagine what the world would be like if more people had pure, unfiltered vision?
