PRISONER EXPRESS

On and off, yes and no… are only dualities with lots of maybes in-between. Like red and yellow on opposite ends of the color spectrum. Did you know there are colors we can't see? Then again, we use to not be able to see planets orbiting other stars. Now we can. Have you noticed there are fewer Insane Asylums then once upon a time? Many of those once thought to be insane were actually Scientists, Poets, and Left wing Republicans. Many businessmen exhibit psychopathic traits: No moral values, antisocial behavior, inability to identify with others. It is good for business.

Did you know your eyes are more like a camera lens then the camera? Your brain is the actual camera. That is where the pictures are made. You use more than sight to make these pictures. Have you ever walked into a room and the first thing you see is a cake or a platter of cookies? It was probably your nose that gave the first information to the picture. Some people {not me} see better with their ears. You hear a bark and picture a tree â€" No, a dog. You hear a horn and picture a car. Maybe you hear a car and know exactly whose car.

Does this mean blind people can learn to see? Of course. Most blind people do see in their own way. If you don't picture in some way as you read Braille then it is just a bunch of letters. A blind man hears a sound and starts searching with his mind for what that sound might be. It is part of his early warning system. It is all in how you look at things. Have you ever met a really ugly person (it doesn't have to be your mother-in-law) and later wonder why you first thought them ugly? Or maybe it was the other way around. Sometimes we hear something about a person and that dictates how we see them. It may not be a true picture. You get to know the person and see them differently. Some things you learn about a person â€" whether true or false â€" is so bad {especially in prison} that it totally distorts how we see a person. We - self included â€" need to back off, clear your mind and take an unbiased picture. Dig a little deeper. Look a little harder.
