Why Looking Is Different From Seeing
“Eyes are useless when the mind is blind.”(thedaily.coach)
Looking is different from seeing.
Looking is physical awareness; seeing is mental perception.
Appearances are deceptive; they hide more than they reveal.
Good vision can only make sense of appearances. We perceive with the mind’s eye, which can help us discern what lies beneath the surface.
Reality does not lend itself to simplistic explanations.
People’s words or actions alone will not reveal their incentives and hidden motives.
How people match their words with actions will reflect who they are.
People are trustworthy when what they say and what they do align consistently.
Integrity is undiluted and unconditional adherence to the values that people profess.
People are untrustworthy when their integrity is opportunistic.
We gain some understanding of reality when we shine the light of mental acuity on the apparent world.
