Too Close to be Seen..

Least distance of distinct vision, do you remember this..

Just a small recall of our learning from the childhood. Least distance of distinct vision is the minimum distance of approximately 25 cms required between the eye and an object to see it clearly.  LDDV, in my opinion, can be applied to Relationships of every kind, including the one between a boss and a subordinate. Once again, a topic very abstract, but requires your understanding. Here’s more..

Time can bring someone closer or move farther.  Relationships can be nurtured or battered with time. Ones moving farther, become more obviously visible for such time, as it gets focus – or noticed – more obviously than the other closer ones, because of the reasons for getting farther. But as it moves further farther,  it fades out of sight, thereby, out of our horizon, and so, moves out of this current discussion too. The ones that move closer, are the ones that creates more impact in our day-to-day lives. Just to re-inforce unto myself, my new-year-resolution is also about dropping-bad impressions or stop being too judgemental.  Here’s my say on these closer ones.

Many a times, we move closer to someone – so close – that we tend to pretend, to know them thoroughly, of their present, from the knowledge of them from their past. From where we saw them distinctly clear the last time. As they come closer, their impressions on us become as hazy at it can get, not aware of how evolved they have become. It worsens with the biases of our own limitations of understanding or comprehension. Either we take them too much for granted, under-rating their potential and capabilities; or by over-estimating their values, basis our evaluation and judgement.  Anyways, it will definitely not point to the dot – Dot.

This is where I prescribe application of LDDV.

Every person is evolving with life-experiences. For Good or Bad depends on what life takes them through and what they make of  it. Like time-warp, we get fixated to some characteristics of every person that we go about, and get stuck to such impressions, without regular updation. As the person comes closer, our conceptions get unreal and unjust to such person. Parents versus children, friends, between brothers, bosses versus subordinates, every relationship goes berserk when LDDV isn’t maintained. If by ‘seeing‘, we mean clarity of thought and sight, then, this is when we are ‘Too Close to be Seen‘.

Would appreciate your word, on whether you could relate to this from your Line-of-Sight (LOS)..
