The Obvious

"Living is easy with eyes closed. Misunderstanding all you see"
-John Lennon

John Lennon often stated the obvious in his lyrics. Sometimes that would irritate me. But I've learned that what might be obvious to me could be considered profound to another person. Just as I have discovered profundity in the simplest of phrases when I give thoughtful consideration to the words and open my mind to a deeper meaning. So, just because something is obvious doesn't necessarily mean it is not profound or instructive beyond its obviousness.
