Adjust your focus
It began to rain suddenly, with black clouds sailing in fast to hide the sun. It had been suffocative and humid from early morning. Perhaps that explained the agitation that had overtaken most people.
He had just cleaned the windows, proudly admiring how spotlessly clean they had become.
But they became all foggy again.
And that is when he remembered something he had seen in an ad just a few hours ago: “when life gets blurry, adjust your focus”.
Indeed, “we often see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it”.

I have to admit there are times when I rather like the blurry effect on life.
Some things I don’t want to see too clearly.
