When you look, do you see?
It can be so easy to misconstrue the two. Some may think they mean the same thing, but the truth is that they are two very different things. You can look at something every day of your life and never really see it.
Take a person for example. Through the hustle and bustle of our daily lives we watch people pass us by. Friends, family, acquaintances, strangers; all parading across the stage of life. We look at them, but how often do we take the time to really see them? to slow down and really get to know them, to see the light of their spirit.
They are more than just faces.
The complexity of humanity is never ending and beautiful. Our individuality brings the spice to life and we should continually be striving to see it. When we let those around us pass by without giving them a second thought we miss out on countless opportunities to grow and learn. We can't be blinded by our cares, our worries, or our prejudices.
So next time you're looking around at the world, take a moment, and just SEE.
