It's that time of year when the weather gets a cold grip on you...... brrrrrrr. Time to bundle up, go outside and see your breath in the air in front of you. The fog can get thick at times, sometimes it's even hard to see across the street, up the road, and on a few days..... you feel almost blinded by the white thick fog. But eventually the fog lifts and your vision is back to being able to see more clearly.
As I write this I think about "life"... and how sometimes we as people are blinded (like the fog), by our own emotions, our own feelings, being unable to see the other persons point of view or reason for doing or not doing something. We lash out - we hold grudges - we separate ourselves because we are simply unable to accept and deal with our own feelings about something - we hold on to and own what is not ours to own. We distance ourselves, like a lone survivor on an island, we can't let go and the one person that gets lost in the fog is the one holding on, unable to see the whole picture. The need to blame, you only hurt yourself in the end.... and sometimes in our hatred we lash out and our words cannot be taken back - they cut deep - they hurt - does this make it better - sometimes, like a ripple in a pond, those words grow bigger and bigger and trickle, hurting others unintended.
Why are we blinded like the fog. Can we learn from the fog? The fog lifts, we are able to see again. Can we, can mankind learn to deal with the fog, accept it for what it is, without blame, without alienating ourselves from others, accept our own feelings, knowing there is more going on than what one knows about another, and be able to let that fog lift?
Deep thoughts for a Tuesday, even for this writer, but I just write what comes to the mind and heart. Something for me to think about, to learn, so that I can grow within myself and learn to accept things unconditionally even if I don't know the reasons or whole picture of what may be going on with another. Today, I ponder these thoughts.
