Why God gave us eyes.

Vicky used to come around and do mum’s hair in the kitchen. If you’re going to be a hairdresser in a country town, you’re usually born with a Bogan name. And you usually wear clothes out in public that anyone with a sense of class and style wouldn’t even be seen in at home. Some days I was surprised she didn’t wheel her haircutting tools into the house in a supermarket trolley.
Still, I suppose being a hairdresser is a step up from being a checkout chick.
Another thing about Vicky was, if you’re going to be a hairdresser, you should at least have a decent haircut. What’s with all the frizz?
I suppose in a country town there’s not much competition. So what you look like or how you advertise your business isn’t so important.
Plus it was a cash job. One of those under-the-table deals that women on the dole do. While they talk about honesty, and the injustice in the world, while they cut women’s hair. While the women having her hair cut talks about dishonesty and bad husbands and injustice in the world. And how they agree with each other that men are bastards.
Nearly everyone talks about injustice. No-one thinks about the debt they owe to God. Just the wrongs that have been perpetrated on themselves. As though justice is a personal thing. Which it’s not. If you pay your debts to God, you can pay your debts to yourself and your neighbour. (Yes, I’m still Bibling up in prison, and learning heaps. I almost wish I’d been incarcerated earlier. I would have found Jesus a lot sooner). And people always want other people to change but don’t make any changes in their own lives. Humans are just a bundle of misery when it comes to virtue. Jesus was right when he said, “Take the beam out of your own eye before you try to remove the mote from your friend’s eye.” We really are blind when it comes to life. It makes you wonder why God gave us eyes.
