" Do You Think We Can Get TOO Focussed?'

A marvelous lesson appeared for me just now as I was 
exiting thru the garage, to come to this little playplace 
they call an office.

As I opened the garage door, I startled a large moth, 
which, upon spreading it's wings, displayed a bright red 
"tail" hidden by the motley brown wings, more a "butterfly" 
than a moth.

It flew immediately to its perceived escape, the 
circle-topped window where it frantically tried to exit 
thru the invisible wall of closed glass.

I raised the third-car garage door in hopes of aiding it's 
escape. That caused it to fly higher and higher and become 
entangled in a spider web. Fearful that it would remain 
entangled in the web, I selected a long-handled broom to 
assist him escaping the tangled threads.

At this, he returned to furiously pumping his wings and 
banging into the glass, which was, in his perspective, the 
pathway of escape, but remained his cage.

By simply turning his focus to one side, he would have 
easily exited his prison. Rather, due to his intent on one 
direction, he remained confined, captive.
