The light blinds us after birth. We're taught what we're supposed to learn. People more experienced than us paint a picture of the world around our reality. But, what if what we were taught was a lie? Perhaps what we learned was instead a perception we were taught to believe? Maybe, what we read was a fiction in place of reality?
The Light that Blinds Perception
"If it looks good, then it is good." It's a saying that's followed me for greater than I would like to remember. We're blinded by the light we're accustomed to seeing. We comforted by it. It draws us into it's embrace. What provides us with escape, what drives us towards some truth is our need to bring about a change within us. Sometimes, it gives us a glimpse of what the world is really like.
