What You Don't Know

My friend Lisa writes about getting new high tech contact lenses that do much to alleviate an eye condition she has long suffered from.  I especially like this paragraph.

My new clarity isn’t all about 20/20 vision. It’s also about realizing that no one knew, those months and years, how frustrated I was at my poor vision and how often my eyes hurt and how many times I debated, knowing that removing the old lenses would immediately relieve the irritation but also reduce my already poor vision even more. And mostly my new found clarity is about realizing that probably everyone I meet has some hidden pain or challenge that others rarely or ever know.
