What you reap is what you SEE*

* The heading does not have a typo error. I mean it, "What you reap is what you see"
"What you reap is what you SOW", the proverbial statement goes back to biblical times. It has a very in-depth philosophical meaning that you should expect returns based on action both in the physical world and the moral one as well. I don't deny the age-old adage, but in today's world, I see another statement which rhymes closely with this proverb - "WHAT YOU REAP IS WHAT YOU SEE"
The human race was initially hunter-gatherers living in small communities, hunting animals, and collecting fruits.
Basically, they were good at SEEING things so that they could reap it for their benefits
As human race advanced, we got better at seeing things, observing nature very closely and using it for benefits. As the seeing and observations increased we started understanding nature. Improvements in science, the discoveries and inventions were all because WE SAW THINGS the way they had to be seen.
In recent times, with too many personal devices, digital content, etc. there is so much of distraction around us all the time. This cripples the great powers of seeing, observing and learning.
We might just have stopped reaping enough as we are not seeing enough
Stop distractions and observe more .... REAP MORE !!

6 年Absolute truth about life. Many people are distracted using the technological gadgets in the name of being updated. But they do not understand the beauty and power of things beyond those gadgets. It all comes in self-realisation. There has always been debate whether technology spoils human or nurtures.
