Blindspots

We all have blindspots. We can’t see and know everything no matter how much we try. Our faculties equip us to discern and understand what we need, but not everything.

When we drive, a blindspot is that area that we can’t see even if we use our mirrors. We have to turn and see if there are any cars in that blindspot. The same is true when we create or study anything. No matter what resources or tools we use, there will be areas that we’ll be blind to. Not because we didn’t know better, but because we didn’t know something was there to begin with. We might have to ask someone for help, or do some extra research to discover what we didn’t know before.

Because we have blindspots, there’s always something new to learn, something we can improve upon. If we knew everything, we wouldn’t have any blindspots. But we only have two eyes, two hands, etc. It’s inevitable that our point of view won’t give us a complete picture of anything. We have to shed light on the blindspots.
