You better decide if you will be
One who looks and does not truly see.
Living in willful ignorance brings peace but a life without understanding is a life blind to honesty. An examination of the body must also be (an examination) of the mind.
All around me are eyes with no life behind them, no light. Not quite the cold dead stare of glass or porcelain, this lack of focus helps to understand how an eye is a lens. Glasses are lenses to help our dysfunctional lenses. Like that of a camera, the very quality of biological seeing is found in the structure of the eye and its ability to open and close - an aperture that adjusts to the amount of atmospheric light. If the eye is the lens, then the film would be the visual memory. A print is made on the retina in flashes of neurological light (electro-chemical energy to be exact). The difference between a person and an animal is the ability to take rewind and fast forward the film upon command. The difference between a person and a robot (zombie/computer) is the ability to extrapolate beyond logic and also the quality of emotions.
