Time will tell

 

The undeveloped photograph has no flaws, is always in focus and nobody in the picture has their eyes closed.  As long as it remains unprocessed, we envision it as perfect.

We see the good-looking shoes in the store as fitting fine, feeling comfortable and lasting forever.  Only when we try them on do we discover the truth.

Truth always lives in the unseen, over that distant hill or around that corner.  Even when it is right in front of us we sometimes don’t see it.

Some would have us believe there are different levels of truth, or that truth is different for everyone, dependent upon time or situation.

Only a select few live in the undeveloped world.  They ignore the news and life around them, they wear a jacket in a storm and fight a forest fire with a garden hose.  They hum an unrecognizable tune and seem bothered by nothing.  They have chosen happy over truth.

I don’t know if that is wrong.  I’m still processing it.

Glass half empty or half full. I prefer half full or totally full. Be Happy - it's more fun and better for your brain.
