Meta - See The Future

Perspective is a window through which we view the world. Truth, or the search for truth, is like a strong light which illuminates wherever we point it.

When the light is shed only on ourselves it becomes almost impossible to see out the window. The future, and the way things really are, all but disappears. We become lost in our own image, as though we are staring into a mirror.

When the light is shed only on the outside, we lose sight of what is, and fall in love, enraptured with the way things may become. Potential becomes our prison.

For these reasons, it is important that we search for truth in all places, for any reason at all. For truth, in balance, shows us the entire picture: the future overlaid with the past, the internal measured against the external.

In addition, we must be careful not to allow our perspective to become corrupted or cloudy, for then we are blind to all things. Blindness . . . self-incurred blindness . . . this is the greatest sin of all.

I apologize for my abruptness: I have not slept well these last few nights.
