Why Do I See It Different?

Have you ever been surrounded by people yet felt all alone?

Everywhere you go there are people but it seems that not one of them is seeing the same things that you are seeing.

I am certain that what I am seeing is really happening but those around me seem oblivious to it all. Is it just me? Is my vision warped, distorted or obstructed? Have I lost all focus? Or am I so focused on what's happening around me that I've lost perspective of who I am or where I'm at or even of what I'm actually seeing?

I wonder sometimes. I wonder if people are so focused on the track they're walking down that they can't see the train coming. Then I wonder if I'm so focused on the train coming that I'm way off on another track.

I find it weird that two people can be standing side by side and see nothing the same.
Here is an example. How many legs does this elephant have?


Most people would assume four. After all, every elephant I have ever seen has had four legs. But just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not real... right?

Is it sight, vision or discernment that tells us what we are seeing, where we are going, or what we are experiencing?

Here's another one. I see a man's face. What do you see? If you don't see it does that mean it's not there?
