I recently learned that eyesight is not everything. It can lead to some surprises. I just lived a story that is the perfect example.
I was having lunch at a public space. I was facing the windows. On the other side of the windows, there was a small parking lot. Just in front of me, there was a parking space. Right there, there were birds, those of the annoying kind that can be seen everywhere. They are called seagull.
Well, I live near a big river, in a big city that is on an island and seagull are very common birds. So, there was a few birds there. They were not happy with each other. They fight for something on the ground. I look to determine what it is. To my disguss, I believed it was a carcass of another bird. It was what it seems from here I was. «Well» i though «I have seen it all! Those birds are canibalists. Well, no wonder they can survive in the city,»
At the end, I got out of the place. I thought it would be a good thing to prouve my point. The birds were gone at this point. I understood why: it was a grey bag! They didn't fight for a carcass, they fought for the content of a plastic grey bag! For sure, at that moment, I felt like a fool. It also explained no ones reacting to the scene.
The moral of the story: It is time to go and get my eyes checked. Another way to see it: I may had been in the perfect spot to view the scene, my eyes weren't seen everything they should have been.
