>> When we focus on a particular thing too much (be it a problem in our career or family. Anything.), it will actually have a ‘blinding’ affect on us, making us unable to see all other things (which usually are not any less important than our main concern).
We (unconsciously) neglect all others, because we are so absorbed by what we think and feel is the most important issue.
If we allow ourselves to continue to be in such a situation, it’d be something like staring at the sun. We’ll be blinded by it.
>> People come and people go. But if we’re still living in this world, it’s because we still have tasks to complete. Things that we need to do for others.
Note: The above was extracted from Rev. Billy Kristanto’s sermon today
