I always wonder why some people “see”, and others do not.

“I always wonder why some people “see”, and others do not.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Well, I am 69 and may be becoming senile but I with every passing day I believe more that almost everything is determined by personal preference. I told a VA doctor at my last routine checkup that I may be crazy but I think sickness or health is basically a matter of whether you decide to be sick or well. The doctor smiled and said, “You are not crazy at all, it really is mostly about what you decide.”

I think some people simply refuse to deal with reality, in almost any situation they will refuse the logical conclusion and embrace a fantasy. I can see others, particularly one close family member, doing exactly that and I can vouch that I have done that at times myself. I can look back on some of the things that I have done in the past and shake my head in wonder at how I could have done something so stupid. In fact there were times when I KNEW I was doing the wrong thing but seemed powerless to stop myself. Some people will call this demonic influence, some will have other ideas, some will say I am crazy. Some will say that it is a matter of shifting from one parallel reality to another.
