When too much of a good thing isn’t good.
So today I was changing my contacts. I had my old ones in and they were starting to irritate me; I realized it was past the day to replace them, so I went to the bathroom, pulled out my contact boxes and when to work.
I pulled our my right contact, everything going slightly blurry in the room, (you see I’m pretty blind, when I only have one contact in everything is off, and when I have niether in, I’m pretty much blind). So I get my right contact out and think, “I’m so grateful for contacts so that I can actually see!” Then I put my new right eye contact in.
I proceed with my left eye, but when I put the contact in my sight is still blurry. I take it out, put more solution on it, but it is still blurry. I go outside and shovel the walks thinking, “maybe time will correct it.” But the whole time my left eye stayed just as blurry. Now there are very few things as anoying as only having one eye that works. Everything just feels out of perspective. So I go back to the bathroom to have a round two with the contact.
I take the contact out, and look in the mirror, “Funny” I thought, “I see better without this contact than with it in. What’s wrong with this contact?” But then I looked in the mirror again. I saw just fine without the contact. I saw perfectly. Then it hit me, I still had my old contact in.
I had out my new contact right on top of the old one, and I found out that two contacts don’t make your vision twice as good.
In some parts of life there are prescribed doses or measurements. Twice as much doesn’t mean twice as good. Sleeping 16 hours a day doesn’t make you have more energy than sleeping 8. The goal in life is to learn the laws by which the Universe lives, the laws that set the doses and measurements, and live accordingly. You can have too much of a good thing. Most unhappy people are unhappy because they live unbalanced lives. They have so much of one good thing that it becomes a vice.
In short, they are wearing so many contacts that they have gone completely blind.
Here is what I’m saying: learn your prescription and live by it. There is a really good Doctor I know, His name is God, and He is really good at helping people find their prescription lenses. Once you find that prescription, only put one contact in at a time.
