Looking But Not Seeing

How many times have you said or heard someone say "I could see exactly what they were trying to do before they did it". Statements like this are made so that we do not look foolish when certain things are done to us by others. Certain things that are done without regards to how it will make you feel so we save face by making statements as such. This statement in particular is spoken to mask the hurt that has been imposed on us at the time. We see it but we are powerless to stop it. Each time this happens, we have settled for actions from others that we do not want to accept but we do it anyway. We give people too much value that don't value us. If you see a ball of mess coming, move so that it passes you by. If you stand still, it will hit you and the person that sent it really feels superior and bask in the reality that you are beneath them. Why do we look for escape routes in life if we are not going to see them? Author: Loyce Bullock
