Near-Sight and Far-Sight

"People of far-sight and near-sight both love fool?s gold, but for different reasons. The one of far-sight is a fool because he sees that today's trash could be tomorrow's treasure with action, but never takes that action. The one of near-sight is simply a fool because he doesn?t realize that the gold he is playing with, is not gold at all. It's actually garbage.

In the end, I'd rather walk the fine line of a visionary journey that is in between near-sight and far-sight. At best, the vision will be partially or fully achieved. At worst, one will be a man of far-sight and know that he tried. Or one will be a man of near-sight in the same boat as everybody else enjoying the blissful ignorance."
