When I was a child, I used to close my left eye to see what the world looked like from my right side. Then I would close my right eye to see what it would look like from my left side. I remember doing this for a season. When people saw me doing this – alternatively blinking my eyes while talking to them – they would occasionally wonder what the heck I was doing. This is odd behavior because we cannot isolate our eyes into two separate perspectives or focal points. Our eyes look at one thing at a time and they do so in unison. The thing upon which we gaze is our focus.
