Random Thought #511

 

Your eyes are only a small part of seeing.  It’s your conscious being that does most of the heavy lifting.  It is that inner knowing that tells the real story, that sees the fake smile or hears the backhanded compliment.  It is that part of you that helps you to navigate society.  The ability to see people how they really are, that is what gets you through life.  The trick is to not become cynical in the process. 

Looking past the flaws takes practice, and seeing your own is sometimes referred to as self-actualization.  Popeye said it best, “I am what I am.”
