“Sometimes you’re blinded by the very thing you need to see.” – Mary Chapin Carpenter

I love this line from the song ‘The Last Word’ by Mary Chapin-Carpenter.
What it really seems to say is that you see what you want to see;
infatuated love, the possibility of wealth, the dreams of fame, and
seeing those things blind you to seeing the emotional desperation,
the selfish greed, or the empty loneliness that might come along with
those things.

Desire often begets blindness. Where are your blind spots?
