Riding on a bus, I was looking at the traffic out of the window on my right. After a while I realized that the cars and fields I was seeing were reflections of the front window reflected in "my" window. I also realized that the "real" road signs I wanted - and needed - to see were hidden by the reflections. I could not see them because my eyes were distracted by what was "unreal". Do we do the same in life? Don't we often concentrate on imagined stuff (and believe it to be true) and... actually forget to live the way we should, and COULD?

Riding and Thinking
Something interesting occurred to me that made me think.
Riding on a bus, I was looking at the traffic out of the window on my right. After a while I realized that the cars and fields I was seeing were reflections of the front window reflected in "my" window. I also realized that the "real" road signs I wanted - and needed - to see were hidden by the reflections. I could not see them because my eyes were distracted by what was "unreal". Do we do the same in life? Don't we often concentrate on imagined stuff (and believe it to be true) and... actually forget to live the way we should, and COULD?
