What You See is What You Get?

I often wonder why they say, "What you see is what you get." Common sense tells me what you see is everything around you. If can't see them you're blind. If you don't want to see, then close your eyes. But seeing is getting? I don't get it.

I believe what we get is something we worked for, asked for or given. But we don't usually get what we worked for. Most often we don't get what we asked for.
And more often than not, we still don't get what was already given.

Most people work all their lives to get what they want. They ask God to give them what they want. Yet, they were already given what they need.
And still don't get it.

Then we often ask what did we do to deserve all these? Maybe nothing. Nothing yet at least. But instead, shouldn't we ask what are we doing to deserve what's not there yet?


"What we see, sometimes we forget. But what we don't see, we shouldn't forget. For what is not seen, is what we can get. I bet, it has been set. When terms were not met before our death, we may regret what we can't get."

Cats and Dogs.

Have you ever wondered why the dog was barking up the wrong tree?
Because the cat climbed up the wrong tree.

Looking down at the dog, the cat said, "Purrr doggy, can't climb up the tree..."
But the dog kept barking, "Ruf! Ruf!"

Then the cat realized, "Oww, you meant the roof!"
