I have gladly reached a point in my life where I believe I do have an idea of what life really is behind the scenes. It is amazing what I have got to know and it does not surprise me to also know that there is even more to yet encounter. Throughout my years which I have spent in this journey of “life” I have learnt a great deal of lessons. However, the most precious lesson I learnt is how to open my eyes properly and see with my eyes, heart, and brain at the same time. I see using my eyes and get the image fixed in my head then my brain tells me more than just the colors and shapes I see… it tells me what’s really in it for me. Finally, I also see with my heart which then indicates the feelings that my brain has interpreted. This is how we should see everything around us from people to nature to still life and to life itself.Yes, your eyes are not all you have to be sighted for I have learnt that blind people can actually see around them, too. What we see is not necessarily what it seems from the outside and judging through stereotypes is definitely not how we should see those we interact with everyday or even those we meet for the first time. I can see now that not every Mexican plays guitar, not every Muslim prays five times a day, not every person follows a religion, parents don’t have all the answers, not all doctors understand pain, friends don’t have to be identical in their beliefs, home is not just shelter and furniture, you are loved but you are also hated, a language is not just words said differently as each language carries an entire culture inside it… and the list goes on and on.
With all that’s been said, having learnt all that, I must say I also learnt that feelings are an “easy come, easy go” type of thing. Depression is only temporary… a surprise is only felt for a moment… sadness can camp over your life but it leaves you alone afterwards. Happiness comes and entertains you from time to time (hopefully most of the time). So, feelings come in the shape of a cycle. Every feeling is seasoned with a special sensation. But once again, optimism and satisfaction are what I carry along with me these days throughout the different seasons of my emotions.
