Looking and seeing

Daffodils by Mike Flemming 2016

I’ve noticed that  some people look at one tiny constituent of a situation and then magnify it by narrowing their view and can become obsessed;I think the capability to do this must be for when we are in great danger.When we are not we need to be able to step back and see how this object relates to its surroundings,I noriced this because I left a comment on a blog about autism and from this another person deduced all sorts of things  qhich she ascribed to me.
So what we see may not be real or it may be out of proportion.We may even fail to see something right in front of us, which can be dangerous.Fear makes shapes take on forms relating to our fear when on other days we see them as trees or
houses.This can happen with a fever when we see faces in the wallpaper or curtains.
