The Three Blind Hearts

The ability and the power to see eye-to-eye with someone can explain a lot, especially attraction. Naturally, people attract and band together based off of their beliefs, based off of seeing eye-to-eye. However when seeing eye-to-eye involves a telescope or beyond, achieving attraction can seem as distant as the ground to the stars. Now I know of the saying "opposites attract", yet it just seems more logical that people are more likely to assemble on behalf of mutual similarities. After-all, if I still like the Spice Girls and I meet a Spice Girl, we are most definitely going to get along smoothly. That can only be the most logical conclusion, right? ;)

Even within society, our generation is taught to stick in groups. In school students are divided into classes, in sports athletes are divided into teams, N*SYNC or the Backstreet Boys? Now particularly threesomes... and N-O, no! I am not implying what you think! But in all honesty, it seems like we're especially pushed to join groups of three such as: B-F-F'S, the three amigos, "snap, crackle, pop", the Powerpuff Girls (yes I really did go there), Obama's three favorite words, "yes we can", and lastly, the three blind mice, or what I will describe as the three blind hearts.

Now let me make this crystal clear: I am certainly not trying to single anyone out. My blog purposes for me to share my insights on a macro-level, to look at the "big picture" rather than the pieces. So here is my two-cents on the big picture, the big picture focusing on seeing eye-to-eye.

While the ability and the power to see eye-to-eye with someone can explain a lot, especially attraction; it can also explain communication vs. miscommunication. And here is the thing about seeing eye-to-eye, not everything is black and white. There is more to seeing eye-to-eye than sight. Even to be scientifically-technical, the eyes do not see. Eyes are simply a pathway for electrical impulses to reach the brain. The brain then converts these impulses into images. So, the eyes themselves do not see. Now there is another saying in which is less common than "opposites attract" yet holds a similar stance, "we can walk arm-in-arm without seeing eye-to-eye."

My dad always prepared me for the real world, reminding me that no matter where I am in my life, I may not always see eye-to-eye with everyone. So that is just it. To the three blind hearts, opposites do not necessarily have to attract and it is possible to walk arm-in-arm without seeing eye-to-eye and without changing your beliefs and without changing your sight. So to the three blind hearts:

"Close both eyes
to see with the other eye."
