Open My Eyes

Isn't funny how we can do wrong with full consciousness of everything at that single moment?
How we can stare into the face of the right thing and simply say No?
Doing the right thing is hard, especially when the the wrong thing looks so attractive. Our eyes put up blinders to everything else and its all we see.
It's weird when you think about it. Knowing something is wrong, knowing it will turn out wrong, knowing it will hurt later, but doing it anyways. Knowing it's sin, but somehow thinking we can dodge God this time, just this time.
The wisdom of man is foolish. Our moral scars are there to prove that.
I just find it wild that we still fall into these traps after all of our bruises and cuts. We still love to get hurt. That's the honest truth.
We look for advice, we get advice, we look for the tricks and tips, but put us in the game of life and we're like dumb animals. We can't remember anything and run into walls.
I almost feel like having more wisdom wouldn't really help me something. Because I'll just throw it out at my convenience.
I was told a few times that I give good advice. Yet life would be so much easier if I just followed my own advice.
Right and wrong get confused only after I deliberately do the wrong thing.

We are odd creatures. Very odd. Shake a carrot in front of us and we'll go. Put up a pretty picture and we'll run into the wall. Shine something bright in a dark room and we'll follow it, ignoring everything else.
I hope we learn eventually to open our eyes.
