Blind

If you think about it, a person can walk through his or her own life and not see the opportunities that are set before him or her and just pass it plainly by. A person can completely get caught up in the hussle and bussle of our own lives simplistic, hectic, and oftentimes complicated lives. In a way it's like walking past something or someone so many times and not realize that certain person or thing was there. Every person has been in this particular situation when it pertains to either one's personal and/or professional life. There are certain situations where a person can become "blind", so blind in fact that he or she is never be able to see what's is in front of him or her for quite some time.

In some ways, one can be "blind" when it comes to situations in the workplace. We've all turned our heads to certain indiscretions, that in our own thinking would consider it none of our business. In a way, we choses to be blind for the simple fact that we don't want to be involved in the drama that might ensue afterwards if found out. Yet, those indiscretions that one didn't want to see may or may not have dire consequences but it will eat away at you in your heart and one's own conscience, until one can no longer take it and will have to fess up. One just has to step up and be a man, in a manner of speaking, and come clean at what one saw or heard, if that is done, one's vision will become clearer.

Thinking about it, one can become "blind" to the truth that one either doesn't want to hear or reveal. Each one of us at some point closed our eyes and ears to the cold hard truth that life tends to put in front of us so to speak. One will simply choose to either deny all that he or she hears and sess before that person as fact or just completely ignore it if it never was heard or seen. It can be a sad situation indeed when a person can't see that one's relationship is in trouble, and that person simply turns a blind eye, knowing that one's relationship is going to go down in flames. It's a disappointing sight when people around that person can absoultey see it with their own eyes, but he or she can't.

In most cases one can become "blind" when someone is interested in you. For that person can send signal after signal, but for some unknown reason he or she can't seem to see those signals. It's kind of life trying to talk to a person who can't hear or waving to some that can't see; but no matter how hard one tries that person is totally oblivious as to what is going on in from of him or her. Sometimes, it takes a best friend or group of friends who can see it clear as day, to walk up tight behind that person and simply slap one upside the back of his or her head. Once one has gotten that person attention, they will in some way enlighten you on what you have been truly missing out on.

Personally speaking, I can truly say that I fall into that "blind" category myself. You see, I have been blinded by this deluded perception that I may be out a my league when it comes to a woman that I'm interested in and I lose focus. It has been a thorn in my side which has held me back for a very long time when I want to ask someone out. My best friend simply walked up behind me and simply slapped me upside the head and told me to take that leap of faith. A leap, in which I would either fall hard to the ground below or land safely on the other side. In the end, I took that leap of faith and unfortunately I fell hard and still unable to see who is standing in front of me.
