Vision

I can see! I don't wear glasses, although all my family do, in various forms and levels of need, yet I still struggle with my vision. Rather than plan ahead, I find myself wanting to deal with things right in front of my nose. I'm aware of it and I deal with it, better and better as the years tick on, but I feel frustrated with other people that don't deal with it. I guess it boils down to the difference between 'want' and 'ought' or 'need'. I 'want' to eat loads of cake, but I 'need' to lower my cholesterol and/or lose weight. I 'want' those shoes, but I 'need' to save money to get my car fixed. Or maybe a lack of vision based on physical, rather than temporal, proximity. "I'll help out local people, but those darned city types/country folk/northerners/southerners/foreigners can go look after themselves." Can't you buggers see that people everywhere need help, and they all deserve equal treatment?

I have, in my time written more coherently, but I did this quickly and my eyes are streaming and sore, my nose is running and I keep sneezing, and all this despite the antihisthamines. So I'm not at my best. Please forgive me.

written in haste, perhaps, but, interesting comments nonetheless.

If it is for cholesterol concerns, why not considering taking Bios Life because it has helped me to lower my cholesterolto a healthy level.
