Eyes Are the Window to the Soul: Mine is Headed to Hell

The eye doctor smiled and said these new glasses would "correct" my vision and help me see clearer. Yet, since leaving her office, I feel my introspection waning as I stare at perceived objects, manipulated shapes, sharp distinctions.

"The devil really is in the details," I think aloud, as my lenses continue to capture the forced contrasts among images, the lines that distinguish what is what. Who is who.

Frustrated, I begin to curse the images. I've traded in my beautiful eyes, "tainted" and "poor," for a manufactured way of seeing. What a "healthy" investment!
