[oooooh, a word editor right here. That’s convenient…]
The Bible Said there are none so blind as those that will not see and none so deaf as those that will not hear. Hmmm.
To be honest that bothered me for quite some time. I didn’t understand it at all … until I got older and saw it in living examples over and over and over again. I think what bothered me the most was I was one of them too! Living my life with blinders on.
Hmm?? What’s that? What are blinders? It’s horse talk. Horses get spooked really easily. Too minimize this, horsemen and teamsters would make shields that would block the horse’s vision so that all they could see was whatever was directly in front of them. It worked well and became an analogy for a person who either did not or could not see beyond what was directly in front of them. They gave no notice to anything else. It was as if they were blind … somewhat.
… distracted … I’ll come back to this. D.
