The More We See, The Less We Saw

It's funny how we didn't know what color we are until someone told us
It's funny how we don't know what religion we are until someone teaches us

It's even funnier how we are judged for something we come with and something we are taught, mostly before we had the choice to choose

I amaze at how we take those two things and turn them into reasons as to why:

Why that person doesn't deserve this or that
Why that person isn't worth talking to, sharing with, or getting to know
working with or understanding

I amaze at why we think so:

We don't know

It is fear of change, of life, of what could be different
It is wanting to be part of a group that is better than, deserves more, gets more public accommodations
It is fear of not being accepted and going along with the us, not them bunch

If none of us could see we would only be voices and brains
Thoughts and intellect
Work and sharing
No boundaries

Yet because we can see, we let out eyes take on the information that comes to all of us
And skew it
And use that extra bit of information to take away from us
To divide us
And distract us from paying attention to what really needs us

Like our resources
Our accommodations in life, like hospitals, schools, library's, foods, medicines and greater care of our Earth

Instead, because we can see, we have taken our energy's into sidetracks that only matter to ego
We let ego rule
And now we are basically a fear based society
Who is pressured in time, money and family
All that because we have eyes
All because we can see
