at someone who was physically blind
for tripping over something they couldn't see
and falling on their face.
that's fairly easy to recognize.
it's not that difficult to not judge harshly,
to even feel a heart-wrenching empathy
for this blind person
for their blunder.
but it's also just as ridiculous to get angry
at someone who is spiritually blind
for tripping over something they couldn't see
and falling on their face.
this one is harder to SEE though.
it's easier to judge in this scenario,
because the blindness is not as obvious
though just as real
and in reality more serious.
We don't have to be humble to be cognizant of one's ineptitude to change a physically blind man's eyes into eyes that can see. It is simply out of the scope of our power; a conclusion logical in even the prideful.
It does take humility to recognize this is true on the spiritual plane too. We can't give a blind man sight, we can't make them see, we can't show them what they're missing.. but Yah can open the eyes of the blind.
