Blindness
In law school, I learned about willful blindness, a concept I’ve found very useful (in speech/understanding of the world around me, not application!) since. But what I suffer from is not quite willful… It’s selective, involuntary blindness. Two examples. One. I want strawberry jam and I know (believe) we have some in the fridge. I go through the entire contents of the fridge. Twice. I declare we have no jam. Herb opens the fridge, grabs the jam sitting in front of the top shelf, and hands it to me. Two. I’m working and my coffee’s cold. I realize I’ve had enough coffee for now and should switch to water. Darn, there’s no glass on my desk. I get a glass I saw on my bedside table, fill it with water, return to my desk and drink from that glass happily. For hours. Then I see another glass, full of water. It was right in front of me the entire time.
So here’s my question… Is it possible to have a moving, intermittent, huge blind spot? Or is this an issue to pick with the minute men?
