Are we blind?

Good day to all,
.
It's a good and peaceful day today. Thanks to God because we are able to read this blog. That means our eyes are working well. At least we can still see and read even though we are wearing spectacles/contact lenses. What about those who cannot see? The world is dark for them. There is no light signal can go through the nerve system going to their brain.
.
In the reading, Jesus mentioned about, "the blind lead the blind". Do you think they are really blind like cannot see light from the lamp? No no. It's not that type of blind. That is physically blind. Jesus is talking about those who is blind at heart. They cast themselves away from the Salvation of God. Furthermore, they are trying to lure others to follow them. So mean. The process of luring others to join the blind-at-heart people is the what Jesus mentioned as "The blind leading the blind." Where can they go? They will move towards the wrong direction. They thought they are right until some unwanted things happen. That is what Jesus meant by "fall into a pit."
.
Some more about people behavior. Yelling at others' mistakes while themselves are also the same or even worst. People hardly wanting to look whether themselves are doing right or not. But when it comes to accusing others, talk bad things about them, judge others, they are the best. This type of people we can call them hypocrite. Before judging others, we must first judge ourselves. Look into thyself and learn how to continuously improve. If we are not okay, please don't judge other people. By judging others even though we are also having problem is showing others how plastic we are. I know that we don't like people to judge us by the outside appearance, so, stop doing that also. Be aware on what comes out from our mouth as there are no reverse-gear for it. Once it's out, it will go out and spread like a virus.
.
What can we talk or teach to others? We can teach others things that we had already taught to ourselves. We already put it into practice and it is proven to be effective. That is the thing for us to share to others. We can guide them. Bringing them to see clear vision of where we are going to go. Give them proper direction and teach them how to walk. That's the basic concept of leadership which applies to all type of organizations. Interconnection between Leaders and Followers. Two way communications and open discussion. That is the main recipe of success in every organization.
.
We have this tendency to look at people the way we saw from the outside. Please remember that we are normal human being. We cannot see what is inside of the person. It is not fair to conclude just from the exterior looks. Yeah I know, first impression is bla bla bla. But, that is psychology of the weak. Which they are lazy to think and analyze. Looking from many perspectives. Put themselves in the shoe of the others before making any conclusion. First impression is used for fast filtering process but it is not necessarily appropriate. Sometime, with this kind of method, they will grab the pretty glasses and let loose the dirty diamonds. When we want to do early conclusion, always start with "looking the best of others." Human concept is that everyone is actually the best. The different is only on what field he/she might be the best. When someone had been rejected during an interview, there are only 2 reason. One, the interviewer is blind. Two, your "best" field is not with the company.
.
One last thing in this blog for today. Whatever we give to others, it will come back to us someday. If good is what you did, you should be proud of it. If it is on the other side, start to change direction NOW as He is watching you. ^_^. This message is for you and for me as well.

Thanks for your eyes to read this blog.
