Comments for Photo.graphic Thoughts http://photographicthoughts.wordpress.com If good pictures could launch thousands of ships, and meaningful words could reach the depths of the soul, allow me then to put my lines and images together. If they could at least launch a wooden boat and touch one weary soul, then I would know I’ve done something good.

(We're too darn clever most of the time, and often not very wise?) Not an easy situation, but asking questions goes a long way - and you're asking loads of questions!! I hope I'm right in thinking that you did find "How lucky to be you and to be living now" which is on my blog under Categories and Thoughts from Graham, just click on the relevant box. Funny how we can go from 'Truth' to 'clicking'. Keep up the good work of challenging us all.

Oh! That's a good point of view you offered, Catchthevision! I can see you are looking from a different perspective, and I'm glad you are sharing it here. <i><b>"But if we can see what we want to see, we CAN see Truth - if we want to!"</b></i> Hmmm… it’s kinda confusing. I can see the logic in your statement, and I cannot debunk it. Logically speaking, you are correct. But in practice… I have reservations. You see, I’m wondering, isn't it possible that we may still NOT see the whole truth even if we want to? I’m not sure if I’m right, but I think we are using the same phrase with a slightly different meaning. I think what I mean in my statement “we see what we want to see” is that given an object, we humans tend NOT to see the object as it really is (twisted perception) and we tend to be incapable of seeing it in its entirety (limited perspective/view). So, given opposing views of the object, we only see that part which we want to see. I think, in my usage, I am talking about us <i>having limited perspective</i> of an object, whereas you are talking about us <i>being capable of seeing</i> an object IF we want to. What do you think? As to the other parts of your comment, I quite agree. :-) Been to your blog, and I’ve seen lots of good materials there. But I haven’t yet seen that post you are talking about. Could you give me the permalink, please? Ah! You got me revisiting my sidepost. :-) Good one! Big thanks. Hello!

Welcome! Let me add: sometimes, we also tend to think that we are looking at a big picture, when the truth is that we are only looking at a tiny part. :-) What do you think? :-) Hi Dayne! Welcome!

As humans, I think one of our biggest problems lies in wanting to see the whole picture. We want God to tell us what our whole life should look like and then leave us alone while we figure out how to get it done. But, like you say, we need to recognize that if we depend on Him, He gives us just what we need to put the next couple pieces together... -Dayne Great analogy!

And if we did not want to see Truth, we would not gain any benefit from seeing Truth. I guess the ultimate and absolute truth is our own, individual mortality. When faced up to, each day is the most precious gift. But it's easy to see why we don't always want to face up to this! I've blogged about how lucky we are to be us, and living now. I wonder what you'd make of that? Url: http://catchthevision.wordpress.com But if we can see what we want to see, we CAN see Truth - if we want to!
