“That’s the age.. He can see every minute detail around him but the conceptualization of that observation never percolates into right actions!”
Were the indirect comments of people around. Soon the young man was the man of 30s..
- “I was recommended to wear glasses of course not of much power for better seeing around!”
He used to say as he started wearing a pair of stylish glasses..
“The sharpness of vision lessens with age. Anyhow he is now smart enough to manage some of his issues wisely with less observation too!”
“The sharpness of vision lessens with age. Anyhow he is now smart enough to manage some of his issues wisely with less observation too!”
Commented an elderly known man. Further up, he grew to the man 40s and the glasses became a bit thicker..
- “His distant vision is a problem!”
Said one of his friends..
- “Yeah.. He is matured but that's not enough to act rightly. He still needs to see through distance!”
Answered a listener. Time never stoped and 50s in the man‘s life were soon there and the glasses had a fine line of division..
- “The top is for distance and bottom for near. My distant vision remains the same!”
He said..
- “He is matured enough to see everything around as is except the defects of his dearer ones!”
Some elderly commented.. The next stage was 60s..
- "Of late my distant vision is not that good. But am not going to change my glasses. Any how, I've no great works to do!"
Said the retired man softly..
- "It's the life of go slow everywhere now. His present lookout does the required without a problem!"
- “Now days I wear glasses for close seeing only. Distance has no relevance for me!”
He said with a smile..

Great read.
ReplyDeleteAge makes a man wise!
Thank you very much for the appreciation, Indrani!
DeleteI can very well co relate with this post as I was born with glasses and seen the changes in "vision" as age progressed graduating from short sight to long sight but about wisdom dawning I am afraid I have still a long way to go! Lovely idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Madam for the nice appreciative Comment!
DeleteJust great,there is a huge difference between eye sight and vision.
ReplyDeleteYou said it rightly Indu.. A few thoughts in this line!
DeleteNice message sir. A good eye sight does not necessarily enhance vision and a bad eyesight not not necessarily hamper it.
ReplyDeleteYes, Somali.. You say the Truth here once again.. Thanks for the nice Comment!
DeleteA great post! This is so full of wisdom :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Purba.. A nice Comment here!
DeleteThis is different and great different. First of all, the formatting, then, how the perspective changes. For me, the protagonist doesn't mature till his 60's were he starts accepting the reality of his eye sight being weak. People expect that with age one will mature, as if its an automatic function of mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm now entering the second para of the post and hope to maintain my vision for better.
