"Can you see me?" ... there are none so blind as those who cannot see
WOW ... what a loaded and psychologically poignant story ... "Tomeina Watashitachi" or "Invisible Us" ... It reminds me of that proverb: "There are none so blind as those who cannot see"
So many pearls of clarity and wisdom were slowly drawn out in the endlessly swirling muddy waters of life.
"Invisible us" due to the blindness and arrogant confidence of those who cannot see ... a condition that even the "invisible" themselves have ... "can you see me?" ... "can I see myself?" ... the psychological 'cover ups' we use to justify our narrow perspectives about ourselves and the lives of others ... the tragic knock on effects of that blind mind set has on the lives of so many others ... the way people use social media (amongst other things) to perpetuate this kind of blindness by canniblising others to invisibility and worthlessness in order to 'elevate' themselves out of their own 'blind' misery. That scene where everyone was too busy filming the stabbings then to render assistance ... "blindness' that is truly dehumanising ... both for the 'victim' and the 'perpetrator'.
Fascinating too how the cycle of tragedies in our lives also provide openings or opportunities to honestly face our own internal blindness and choose clarity ... there is a real humility and power in that process ... some people cannot do it and prefer to live in 'blindness' and render not just others, but themselves 'invisible' ... some are so overwhelmed they un-alive themselves or take it out on others ... some face it and accept the consequences and move into the light of awareness ... and , in turn, are liberated.
Yes ... this was very poignant and profound ... ladened with sadness and tragedy on the one hand and the gaining of 'liberation' from blindness of self and of others on the other hand. "Seeing" and moving forward in honesty, humility ... there is a gentle empowerment that comes from self awareness and ipso facto awareness of others.
It is 6 episodes with the pace of a slow breeze ... at first it feels so oppressive and 'hot' as if you are confined in a very narrow space with no fresh air ... but as things come to light ... as the characters take on board and accept the truths that are revealed, it feels less oppressive, the air feels fresher and less constricting ... just perfect to take you from blindness and invisibility to full sight ... 10/10 for me.
