Looking, Seeing and Understanding

How do we see?

What are we looking at?

Do we see it?

What is it?

Is it a chair?

Yeah, who gives a fuck, let's go!

*Is it a person that needs help?

Yeah, who gives a fuck, let's go!

How do you feel about that? What do you think about that? Are we any different? 

I guess I feel like this is true, I feel like a lot of people see blindness. They see nothing but, oh yeah their persona.
Why can't we all draw?
Have you ever asked yourself why can't you draw a line similar to chair’s?
This will not be any scientific fact or anything, but my wise thinking. Don’t take this as whatever, just think when you read.

I think it's because you don't really see it, you actually see what you draw, even if you don’t think so. Did anybody teach you how to look at something, how to see with your eyes and with your mind?
Is it so hard to draw a curve line or a shape of a nose? I mean can’t you see how simple it is to just imitate the shape and draw a line?
No. Not all of us see like this, because nobody taught you how to see things.
And you would say: “Yeah, but nobody taught you too.”
That is not quite right. I’m an artist, I draw. And teachers are helping me to understand shapes and SEE shapes in different things.
Let’s say you see a fountain, and you think: “Wow I could never draw a shape like this!” And then I see a square, a circle, and a triangle.
Is it so hard to find those shapes in things?

Now days people see through the eyes of publicity, eyes of money, eyes of fortune, ... But not many people see happiness, luck, kindness.
Do you see how happy you are?
Just think for a moment. You have an amazing family, which loves you, you have food every day on the table, you have a place to stay in, you like to call it home, you have amazing friends with which you have amazing time when you are together.
Oh, aren’t you happy? Is that not enough for you? What? You want a castle? Money? Boyfriend, which will make your life perfect, heal all cuts on your hand, make your life a dream?
Would you gave up your amazing life, family for that?
Are your hands really that not important?
Are you loving the pain, blood or what? I don’t get it, what is wrong with you?

Oh! You’re blind! You have happiness in front of you, why don’t you open your eyes and see this sunshine around you. What is your problem? Do you really have to be a drama queen, who doesn’t see two inches in front of her?
Why do we have to make our lives so miserable? Why do we have to bring up the pain and morn about every little thing that isn’t right or doesn’t suites us?
Why can’t you open your eyes and see this beauty of world, beauty of your life, happiness?
Speaking of happiness if you will sit in the bathroom cutting your hands, happiness will just walk by you, and you won’t see it, no you won’t…
Unless you stop for a second, forget every little thing that troubles you and look, spread your eyes and see in what dream you are living in! You have everything that you need even more, even things you won’t pick up even ones in your life, but you are still unhappy. Mourning will not bring you peace, mourning will not bring you happiness or joy.
You have to find it. You are standing here in front of this big wide World, on which you are walking your whole life! Now open your eyes and look at shapes. Don’t be blind, see within! Don’t be stupid, be just eccentric!

Keep them open and don’t forget to use them!
