Your awareness is diminished to the point that you cannot see situations accurately or clearly. You’re in a fog due to the nurtured sickness in your everyday life.

And like we said yesterday, the more you indulge something, the harder it becomes to turn back around.

For instance, if you are always focused on self–what you need, what you want–then you become drunk with self-centeredness which impairs your vision for others.
