Eyesight vs Mindsight

Eyesight vs Mindsight

EYESIGHT and MINDSIGHT, we're all gifted with it but do we agree that probably 80% of the time, we tend to be more dependent on eyesight.  We take things at face value.  We peg a value to every reality we seem to face.  Why ?  Likely because it is so damn effortless.  In fact, you don't need to lift a finger because we end up taking things visually and literally.  

    So, let's buckle down to some basics.  EYESIGHT is judging by what you see whereas MINDSIGHT is interpreting what you see.  Unfortunately, many of us [and I'm guilty of these countless times in the past] are vulnerable to take the EYESIGHT path because taking that path is least difficult and in truth, it's so seamlessly effortless.  MINDSIGHT ?  Who cares ?  The misconception is you will be unnecessarily cracking brain on it. 

Life could be as simple as two cups of brewed coffee and how you handle it could go either via the EYESIGHT or MINDSIGHT.  Outright we could judge the brewed coffee whereas when you became conscious of the aroma, you could be dissecting the kind of coffee beans in that cup of coffee.  And a lot of crossroads in our life are frequently thought of via either EYESIGHT or the MINDSIGHT.  And that's when problems pop-up.

What separates the men from the boys happen in real-life EYESIGHT vs MINDSIGHT scenarios.  Let's g beyond the surface.  If a workmate or a loved one seems to have uttered words that seem offensive, take a step back and understand where he/she is coming from. Was he/she into a certain difficult situation ?  Was he/she going through frustrations despite all the efforts poured out to date ?  Before friction turns into a fire, you could likely 'nip things in the bud'.

As the Chinese Philosopher said, 'MASTERING OTHERS IS STRENGTH.  MASTERING YOURSELF IS TRUE POWER,'  This short and sharp lesson tells us that we should rather correct and improve ourselves rather than shift our focus for others to improve themselves. Obviously, improving oneself is more doable because you are in full control of things.
