I have read that there is a point in the retina which is not sensitive to light; it is where the optic nerve passes through the inner coat of the eyeball. That point is called the blind spot.  By analogy, this refers to any given area which cannot be seen or reached with available equipments such as radars or radio receptors.

Applying it to human experiences, blind spot can be referred to as which we fails to exercise understanding, fair judgement, true service and tolerance. Blocking them out of awareness. Living examples are public officials who are more interested with the perks of the office rather than in managing their responsibilities with prudence and diligence; individuals who holds important positions and enjoying fame who tends to think as having more intrinsic worth than anyone they look down as their social inferiors equating personal value with their social role; people who exchange their principles, honor, their very soul with the privileges and pleasures that they care for; people who quick to judge other beings by their actions and the company they keep; all of us who has the continuing habit of finding out what we need to gripe and complain about in our daily lives rather than discovering of what we should be thankful about.

Many times conflict arises in our relationship with one another when we focus on the weaknesses and not on the strengths of our fellowmen, considering their inadequacies instead of their potentilas and capabilities. We miss the opportunity to get a clear vision of the beauty of God which we can experience in the community of His people.

All of us must practice sensitivity, fair judgment on everyone. Each of us is God's creative handiwork, his glory and character are revealed in each one of us. We need to audit and monitor resources at our command to consider only the things that are honest, pure and good in our fellowship with one another. These are the indispensible ingredients to make us see, with clear vision, the only best way for mankind's continuing existence in harmony and lasting peace.
