Blind spots

We were all taught by our driving instructors to look out for blind spots when we are changing lanes or making a turn.

In the same way, when we are steering through life, do we look out for our blind spots?

We can easily spot out other people's blind spots, but we tend to ignore our own blind spots. We express dislike at the weakness of others, but when will we realise that we have the same weaknesses as them? We become angry when someone hurts us, but do we realise that we constantly hurt others? When can we learn to accept others for the way they are?

Maybe the first step to accepting others is for us to accept ourselves. We need to know our true selfs, before we are able to accept ourselves.

The way we accept our true selfs is for us to realise that we have weakness and blindspots.

However, we seem to trivilise their blindspots, or we may not be able to spot out all of our major blindspots. We trick ourselves into thinking we have accepted ourselves but in reality we have not even realised our own personal major flaws.

The only way for us to recognise our true blindspots is for us to crash and burn while steering through life. It is only through traumatic experiences caused by our blindspots that we are able to have a glimpse of what our blindspots are.
