The Hazy Picture
Tuesday, October 08, 2013
I've watched this NatGeo Show Brain Games today about vision and focus. The show has explained the difference between the central vision and peripheral vision. And how central vision can be so high-definition but has a very narrow field of vision where the peripheral vision has wider and non-HD field. So, before I start to get too nerdy in here and for lack of better words to further science explanation, let me start to write my thoughts.
Well, my thoughts aren't scientific so please excuse my sentiments.
The simple focus-vision-science thing I've watched on TV today has somehow awaken the hibernating writer in me. Could be that Brain Games episode, could be my hormones, let's not dig into that.
How many times have you heard someone tell you, "You have to see the bigger picture", or "It will all seem different if you just look things from another perspective".?
A lot, probably. Cliches perhaps in handling relationship troubles.
So maybe sometimes (or most of the time), we are blinded. We don't see the bigger picture. Because, we always see our loved ones in how we want to see them and what we want to see in them. And we always want to see ONLY the good things and convince ourselves that "No, they're not capable of hurting me". Admit it, though paranoia have occupied a minute of every hour of our thoughts; we just focus clearly on what good we want to see. Our worlds have so much been focused on that small area of good, we can go our daily lives not seeing what's out there. We can't see the bad or maybe just got used to the bad that it all seem to be part of the good.
Is it love? Is it martyrdom? Is it stupidity? As time goes by, the lines between the three have become so thin, a lot have been "in love" and became martyr or stupid or have become all of the three. Do we really have to be stupid when in love? Or, do we really have to be blind to love truly?
"Never settle", they say. If we have to go out there and see a bigger picture, will it make any change? If it would be bad and painful, would we really rather see that?
"If everything seems too good to be true, it probably is a lie.", I have read someone say. So, come see what really is out there in the hazy part of the picture.
You ready?
You sure?
