    1. Sometimes I think it’s a combination of being blinded by the outside world, and also a degree of willingness on our part. Especially where less than pleasant things are concerned.
      I guess there’s degrees to everything in this world.

  7. Oh that’s a brilliant take, Kevin. Blind by intention is so much worse and sadly, the count of such people seem to be increasing day by day. So sorry for my delayed response.

      Unfortunately, society makes it very hard to continue caring in some ways. Not saying it’s right. Just that’s the way it shakes out sometimes, unfortunately.

      1. You’re most welcome.
        That’s a valid point. Society and experiences can up hardening people and shaping up the way they react.

      2. We become products of our environment and sometimes it’s a very subtle shift we don’t even notice.

        But yes, that’s true. Even the smallest things can have a ripple effect
