‘Come on. Who’s watching you anyway/”
Has anyone ever said that to you before?
Now you even say it to yourself, don’t you?
“… Who’s looking at me anyway?”
You are never seen, but you see everyone.
You saw neighbour girl sneak out for a cuddle with Mr. Charm (who wouldn’t even look at you). But no one saw you flirt with your biology professor in freshman year.
You saw the waitress pinch from a customer’s meal, but no one saw you blow your nose over the banister from the fifth floor. Or pull the chewing gum right out of your mouth and stick it behind your ear for later. No one ever sees you. Really!
The entire world is blind! The universe infact when it comes to you. Or are you invisible?
You know the truth.
If you can see others, then they can see you.
When people say say; ‘who’s looking at you anyway?’.
They don’t mean that nobody sees you. They mean that you are simply not significant enough for anyone to pay serious attention to your activities. So that even though the act may matter, its alright since you don’t matter.
Do you believe that? Are you less significant in the world than the hungry waitress, or the blind beggar you saw peeking at his earnings when he thought no one was watching?
They sold you a lie and you bought it.
Listen up.
Everyone sees. The good, the better, the fantastic. The bad, the worse, the ugly.
What people say or don’t say doesn’t always represent their true feelings about what they saw. But make no mistake about it. You were seen by heaven, and earth, especially heaven.
Oh! Am sure your next response would be; ‘I don’t live by other people’s opinions of me.’
Well, good for you, but what about the heaven people’s opinion of you?
What about your opinion of you?
Why is it that never gave a second thought about picking your nose until you saw that beautiful lady laughing her head off? Only then did you consider what you must have looked like as you pulled that boogies out of nose, wiped it on your shirt, and picked up your sausage roll. Only then did the word ‘hygiene’ cross your mind.
Why didn’t you ever consider quitting smoking until your 6 year old nephew asked for a toot on your ciggie? Or reconsider your new ‘pornography collector status until your 4 year old baby daughter mimicked the nude pose she saw you drooling at two days ago?
Truth be told. You don’t live for yourself. Nobody does.
You are a doctor today because, at age twelve you saw a doctor save a boy’s life (on television). You saw the tears roll down his mother’s cheeks and you were touched.
Wonder what your kids are watching on TV these days?
We affect each other (and ourselves)by our actions and inactions. Ignorance does not relieve us of the responsibility, nor eliminate our accountability.
Tell me. If you were called up to account for your every move in 2006, how many of them would you skip? Ten, or ten million?
Oh yes, I am thinking of it right now. So should you.
We want people to be proud of us. It’s important to us.
It’s more important we be prouder of ourselves, but it’s most important that heaven be proudest.
Someone (UP THERE) is always watching.
And it’s a good thing. Do you really want to left alone?
