ReplyDeletePerfect!!!
It's not only today's aphorism, Marty, I love all of them. You're by far the smarterst man I know (well, I don't know much of you, but still, you're the smartest man I've been reading these days) - I just love coming here.
Thank you so much for sharing.
PS.: Question: How old are you? If I was to judge by the knowledge, I'd say sth around 60 - don't ask me why. I don't know why we're often attributing knowledge to older people!!! You could be 35, 40, that's pretty young to me. =)
Take care and keep smiling, sweetie.
Where'd I put that cane??? Marty, you are right as usual!
ReplyDeleteMarty is ageless and right as rain as per usual.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post. We all need a vision and some help to see it.We also need the light that shines in dark places.
ReplyDeleteTap, tap, Tap,tap.
ReplyDeleteBulls eye!
Again. Thanks.
The more tactile your approach, the closer you orbit to reality.
ReplyDeleteA blind man may not be able to see but he is not blind in understanding. Unfortunately, some of us are.
ReplyDelete:) Thanks NP
How true. We all probe the corners of darkness searching for the way to the light. Thanks NP.
ReplyDeleteIn being caught thinking in two minds, I choose my own.
ReplyDelete... and hides the wisdom in his eyes behind dark glasses.
ReplyDelete:-)
No matter what, we have the ability to find our way.
ReplyDeleteTimeless. Yes if only we could get out of that narrow way of finding ourselves. Sigh. But then again wisdom will teach us a lot. If ever we get one...or if we even get to that stage.

..and if we could see the truth, we would no longer be?
ReplyDeleteThe Priceless cane ..Love this one :)
ReplyDeletethere are so much, that eyes cannot see :)
ReplyDeleteAnother classic Marty, we are all just struggling to find our way through the darkness.
ReplyDeleteMarty, must our cane be pointed down with the soft "tap! tap!" to clear our path or thrust onward in silence to say, "I'm marching on, make way or you might be trampled upon"? Joke only!
ReplyDeleteThis is call :"Seeing through the mind of Perception"
ReplyDeleteBlind also see with his sense of touch.
ReplyDeleteI'd tap that.
ReplyDeleteWe are all "blind" in that we see through the intermediary of the cane or the sense organ, and not directly. Yet we are blind to the fact that we are blind, and this is the deepest blindness...when blindness is believed to be sight. Analogously, when a lie is believed to be true, that is delusion, another kind of blindness. Thank you for this penetrating aphorism n.p.
ReplyDeletelove this :)
ReplyDeletethanks for all your comments on my site, really appreciate it!
Got some catching up to do with your aphorisms, been busy with work and traveling! All are wonderful! Take care

True enough, NP--they just see in different ways, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI hate to dump cold water on this beautiful thought, but I think he just fumbles around blindly.
