Keep your eyes open...

By Vichara


Keep your “eyes” open. That’s not just in the literal sense ether. If we are blind to the “truths” that exist or turn our eyes away in trepidation, we will falter. It may not be this minute or hour but the accumulative blindness to “truths” will put you at a disadvantage. Of course sometimes we feel that by turning our heads that there is always a chance that things will resolve, things will go away or just ignore them. Ignorance is not bliss, ignorance perpetuates instability. Be well informed, keep you eyes open and meet the “truths” with equanimity and the resolutions that you feel would be difficult, will be able to be met.

Did you know?
"Combustible" and "incombustible" are opposites but "flammable" and "inflammable" are synonyms. Why? The "in-" of "incombustible" is a common prefix meaning "not," but the "in-" of "inflammable" is a different prefix. "Inflammable," which dates back to 1605, descends from Latin "inflammare" ("to inflame"), itself from "in-" (here meaning "in" or "into") plus "flammare" ("to flame"). "Flammable" also comes from "flammare," but didn't enter English until 1813. In the early 20th century, firefighters worried that people might think "inflammable" meant "not able to catch fire," so they adopted "flammable" and "nonflammable" as official safety labels and encouraged their use to prevent confusion. In general use, "flammable" is now the preferred term for describing things that can catch fire, but "inflammable" is still occasionally used with that meaning as well.
