The microscope didn’t create germs. It just ended the excuse of not knowing.

Seeing something clearly transfers responsibility to you. The germs were always doing their work; what the lens changed was that washing your hands stopped being optional, and from then on not knowing was no longer available as a defence. Knowledge is uncomfortable mostly because it closes exits.

Something has probably come into focus for you recently. How a friend gets treated in a group, where your money actually goes, what one of your habits is doing to your sleep. Pick the one you keep looking away from and take the smallest honest step on it this week, because the not-knowing is already gone.
