My 9 year old is one of the most oblivious people that I have ever met. It is one of the qualities about her that I adore and also one of the things that drive me completely drives me INSANE!
But, I think that this kid may actually be on to something. Maybe if I could be more oblivious I would be a happier person. Maybe being oblivious is an act of faith. Perhaps being oblivious to the evil in the world, pain, suffering, other people's opinions or anything other than what is useful for maintaining a state of joy is her expression of faith.
I observe just about everything. That which I did not actually observe, I usually just make up and usually not for my good. I am going to try being more oblivious for awhile. Ok, who am I fooling, but I am certainly going to think about doing it with gusto.
