We Close Our Eyes

When we close our eyes to the things we do not wish to acknowledge, we close our eyes to more than just those things. We close our eyes to our own chance to grow. We close our eyes to the chance to change our minds. We close our eyes to a potential future path and thereby restrict ourselves from living a life we could have never imagined.

When we close our eyes we deny ourselves possibility. We do ourselves an injustice. We trap ourselves in the only reality we allow ourselves to perceive.

Spike had closed his eyes to the idea of any sort of happily ever after when he was left to flee Tharsis in the rain and alone. He claimed to see past in one eye and present in another, a poetic way to miss out on the fact that the future was not in his cards.

Jet had closed his eyes to the uncertainty and unhappiness that Alisa was plagued with in their life together. He could not see the problem and was therefore blindsided when she left.

Faye had closed her eyes to the existence of a whole self if she did not possess the memories of another place in time. She tripped herself up from embracing all that she could experience and enjoy within this world as who she awoke as.

Ed lived with eyes wide open. She wanted to see it all, do it all, go everywhere and meet everyone. She chose to crash ships into her life, to traipse amongst the stars, to follow strangers.

Ein, clever as he was, was also just a dog. His life was within his own control to as much of a degree as he ever really needed or desired. He didn't close his eyes to anything but he preferred to follow his nose. Food was life, after all, and what was life without food?
