Fragmented vision.

It has always been a deterrent in our search for understanding. It is the line upon which the limits of our capabilities are drawn on. It is what makes us human.

The human mind is a gem. A multi-faceted jewel encased in glimmering starlight. It is beautiful, but its vision is flawed: Limited and refracted by the very faces that give it its beauty.

The human person's understanding of the universe is limited by what he can see or comprehend. And more often than not, what he sees is but a small fraction of the overall structure. The tip of the iceberg.

The young child who plays at the playground doesn't understand why it makes her happy. She just knows that it does.

The physicist knows of the existence of gravity. Yet he does not know exactly how or why it is there. It just is.

Likewise, the artist paints up beautiful pictures that many praise and envy. But when asked of the source of his inspirations, his answers would be vague. He does not know.

When asked question after question after question after question, we would, in the end, find ourselves baffled by one question or another. None among us could boast of infinite knowledge. Likewise, there is non among us who could see and comprehend the wholeness and the workings of the universe. The ways of the world, are hidden from us.

We only know what we see, and only see what we know. This is where our judgement is flawed. For we decide based upon an incomplete picture. How well can we decide with barely half the facts in our hands?

People are always asking "why do we have to suffer?" or "why do things have to be the way they are?". These, are signs of our ignorance and shallow insight. This shows just how far we can see into the heart of the world we live in.

There are reasons why things are the way they are. And there's a very good reason why we do not see these reasons clearly. Even though they stare upon us right in the face.

That reason, hides deep within our hearts. For the knowledge and understanding that we seek, lies not outside, but within us. We are just too blind to see. For our eyes, look upon the world with biasness. With a vision that centers, upon...us. So when you look upon the world, ask yourself, "What am I looking at?"

If you see it the way I see it, you may never find the answer to that question...
