Blind

-May 2008-

People in this world are blind when it comes to the people that are closest to them. They take for granted the things their loved ones do for them out of the goodness of their hearts. They ignore the kindness and generosity that others bestow upon them. They are numb to the fact that someone cares so much for them and they don't realize how much they are hurting that person by being blind to their feelings. They are blind to the fact that no matter how much they ignore and hurt them that person will stand by their side regardless because they love them so. They are blind to the reality that their loved one would do anything for them, that they would give up their life for them without hesitation. They are blind to the person standing right in front of them with their heart in their hand, and they crush it every time. People need to stop being blind and realize what they have right in front of their eyes. They need to realize that they have a precious gift, the gift of love and affection. Without love and affection there would be nothing worth living for and people are blind to that simple fact.
