We don’t care about health, in a preventative sense.
Some people care. But most of us, instant gratification and handy excuses, over making good choices. I’m that way, nothing to judge about it.
Except that it seems a site like this should be making a big selling point for how much better life could be, with just some small habit changes. Great natural eyesight, no worrying about floaters and retinal detachment, and forever optometrist bills, and not seeing anything at the beach, and oh boy, when it rains …
The reward is far greater than the work one has to put in for it. A few little tweaks, gradually improving eyesight, and the world becomes a clearer, brighter place. It’s so worth it!
Otherwise and for most, until something goes totally south, the glasses are just too easy and convenient. We don’t want to hear about it. So if you, exception to that rule, are excited, don’t be confused or disappointed when others don’t share in your sentiments. Finding a reason to delve into this sort of project, seems quite personal and difficult to inspire.
To wit, @endmyopia’s Twitter:
Ten re-tweets, 20 likes. For my random off-topic comment about cheap SIM cards.
You’ll not find any on topic, vision health related tweet, that’ll go anywhere near that. I can’t come up with anything Twitter-worthy enough to get even a handful of retweets. That’s nobody’s fault, but it leaves me scratching my head on how to inspire more curiosity and desire, for people to liberate their eyes.
Housekeepting: Buried in meetups, and annual accounting and random administrative issues are taking over my life right now If I seem either slow or really short when answering e-mails or forum questions, just know I’m doing my best to keep up! ;-)
