꼬꼬 할아버지 소가 안경 쓴 것 봤나요?

     안경 쓴 할아버지  소를 봤냐구요.

                      하기야 코앞에 있는 풀만 먹으면 될테니까    눈이 나빠도 안경이 필요 없겠지요.

              

 

                                                                                                                                                                                               

                                

 

 

                                                    할머니 고래가 안경 쓴 것 봤나요?   안경 쓴 할머니 고래를 봤냐구요.?

                               하기야 입만 쫘악 벌리고   숨 한번 들이쉬면  배부르게 될테니  안경이 필요 없겠지요.

                                                                                       

꼬꼬 할머니 참새가 안경 쓴 것 봤나요? 

하기야 참새만큼은 쬐끄만 좁쌀을 먹어대니 안경이 필요 할텐데요.

                     

                       아니지요.

                       아니겠지요.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                       아         아         눈

얼굴도 작고,걸칠코도 없는 참새라

                               걸칠 안경도 없을테지요.   안경을 맞출수도 없겠지요.   

                   

                                                                                                                                           

 

 

 

 

 

그 런 데                                          

사람은 왜 안경을 쓰나요?

할아버지,할머니뿐 아니라

코흘리게꼬마도 안경을 쓰고 다니잖아요?"

 

 

                        만물의 영장이 '사람이라든데"

                          사람의 눈이

                            소보다, 고래보다,참새보다

                              왜 나쁜걸까요?

                                                                사람의 눈은

                                                                먹이를 찾기위한 눈이 아니라그런가 보죠?

                                                                먹이용 눈이 아니라 그런가보죠?

                                                            

                                                                사람의 눈은 이런걸 보잖아요.

 

                                                                 슬픔,

                                                                   외로움,

                                                                가련함,

                                                                  걱정,근심,불안.

                                                                겁먹음,졸림,포기.좌절.

                                                                  기뻐함

                                                                좋아함

                                                                  정직함,거짓스러움..

                                                                뻔뻔함,회피,

                                                                  분노,교만....등등

                                                               사람속에 깊이 담긴 감정들을 봐야 하잖아요.

 

 

                                                                                     사람의 눈은 소처럼,고래처럼.참새처럼

                                                                              먹이를 찾는 눈이 아니잖아요.

 

                                                                       그래서 사람은 안경을 쓰는건가요?

                                                                   .......

                 

                                                         사람의 눈은 참 피곤하겠네요.
