Give me a new set of eyes
This old one's not doing good. It sees greedily, it does not appreciate. It has no patience. It only wants immediate gratification.
Give me a new pair of eyes so I may see the good in everything. I want to appreciate what I have right now. But with these worn-out eyes, I can't see.
What has damaged these pair of eyes into what it has become now?
What has dazzled them and made them partially blinded?
In a world where no one seems to see patience as a virtue, it is easy to succumb to immediate temptations.
Waking up to the truth is of the utmost importance. Once we fail to recognize that our eyes are failing us, we might eventually fall into the pit of self-destruction.
Thus, I am asking for a new pair of eyes so that I may be able to see the truth as it is. That patience is a virtue.
We have to practice endurance for us to see victory from time to time.
We have to acknowledge that it takes effort to come out of situations unscathed.
With endurance, effort, and patience, added to wisdom built over the years and applied through situations, we can say that we have matured and overcame the baits and tricks thrown at us.
But how can we see all those if our eyes are covered with mud? How can we discern if our eyes are covered with walls and foolishness?
Yet we do things that curb the truth and get far from the right way, the right path.
We deliberately do what is wrong.
What has caused us to be this stubborn?
Yet we can never ask for a new pair of eyes. We can never exchange what we already have.
All that must be done is treat the sick eyes and wish for it's betterment.
