I wear reading glasses sometimes. I can’t see near as well when they are dirty. And when I clean them, I see way better. Da! Sometimes I
say to myself, why didn’t I do that sooner! Da! It’s such a simple task but I
didn’t do it! The analogy is that I can apply that to many of my little habits.
BUT I gotta do it! If I don't, I have a blurred vision!
CadillacJack asks--Who wants to live a life like a bad
person? I’m guessing but I don’t think anyone does, do they? Sooo what
qualities make a person a good person (i.e. opposite of a bad person)? Does our
vision ever get blurred as what the difference is. If soooo, what could blur
our vision? What could make our vision clearer?
Most job applications want our resume meaning they want our past history. That includes probably our education, experience etc. (i.e.
basically who we are). AI can make us whatever we want to be but if they
investigate our past they can pretty much find out who we are. And then they interview
us and call references or see what we write on FaceBook. A face to face is important but sometimes people can
fake it. Maybe different employers are looking for different qualities; some employers
want the basic good qualities and they can teach the rest. If a person has a sketchy
past, it might present a problem for the applicant (i.e. what is their
history). I guess no one wants to hire a problem! But, don’t we all need a
second chance at times!
I find it very interesting how people in the Bible were
pretty much not the big hotdogs of their culture but folks of minor importance and some even had bad and sketchy pasts and yet became very important in the Christian
history. That is amazing to me. Christianity believes that God looks at all the
people the same, no favorites. He loves all of us the same and gives
opportunities to the most unlikely folks. I like that! JoeSixPack says--That sorta kinda goes
against the American dream and capitalism, doesn't it!
John Wooden's philosophy was--"Fairness is giving all people the treatment they earn and deserve. It doesn't mean treating everyone alike." He believed treating everyone the same was unfair because it ignores individual differences.
Sometimes some of the Canadians don’t like the U.S. but sometimes
they do. I went to see an old golf friend who happens to be Canadian and
winters here in the Valley of the Sun. He showed me a big jug of vodka and asked
me how much I thought he paid for it. Well, it was on sale at Albertson’s for
$5 with a limit of 2 bottles per person per day. He and his wife bought 14
bottles. He said they can each bring 5 bottles back to Canada but have to pay
duty of 20% soooo he said we have $6 in
each bottle. In Canada we would pay $66 per bottle sooo we just saved $600.
It’s all about the money and how it affects us; our vision gets blurred when
our personal money is involved sometimes, maybe. Don’t kid ourself, money talks! In the world we live in, it's all about the money! We have blurred vision many times! Such is life.

I wonder if we live in a Star War world blurred vision which
is not reality but make believe. I wonder!
We just don’t like to or want to see reality. I wonder if we live in a
fake world, I wonder. Sooo we ask ourselves, what is reality anyway! Good
question folks, good question. It seems that reality is different to different
folks. We really don’t all agree what reality is. Soooo in reality, if we are
not going the same direction or fighting for the same cause, that might be be a
problem. I believe in a sovereign God that is in control which means that He can change anything at anytime. Soooo, I won’t be surprised if
that will happen. It has happened in the past and could happen at any time. That
is my opinion and I have read it in the Bible of the past in which that has
happened (e.g. a huge massive revival; maybe one is starting right now). You
might not agree, we might have different blurred visions on this. JoeBlow says--
erv, I think you are for sure the one with the blurred vision!!! No way that can happen!!!!
We are back at our home in Yakima, WA. As we were walking in our 55+ community in Mesa just a couple nights ago, a couple from the Midwest said to us--When we go home, it will be a different world. And it is! Maybe not better or worse but just different maybe. For many it might be back to the real world compared to an senior Disney World here in the South. For others it might be back to a very secure place of comfort of a familiar place of many years or back to the place of the same old problems of many years (i.e. the environment is different); It's a different world. Maybe either world might be a blurred vision for us!
Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
