Overlooking or Looking Over

You know how when you see something beautiful in nature you  can look past all the things  in your way – the things you don’t want to see – like electric wires, houses, cars, and such. Sometimes I think it’s like that with people too. We look past the parts we don’t want to see and only see what we want. Perhaps we should look at all they show us and really know who we’re looking at, but is that even possible? Do we want to admit that maybe someone isn’t what or who we really thought they were – since then we have to admit our misjudgment?  I’ve had this happen with friends. All of a sudden, you look at them and see what’s really been there all along, but you were too reluctant to acknowledge. For once you admit it, you either have to accept what they’re showing you, or be willing to move on without them. Maybe rather than overlooking so much we need to take time to look over who is really in front of us.
