Blindspots: What are they? How do they affect us? How do we overcome or deal with Blindspots?

[LightSun]

What do the two quotes below mean to you? We all, each and every one myself included have blind spots of awareness.

Blind Spots In Awareness: How could it be construed the human species is metaphorically blind? How can one discover one's blind spot? And what would be the benefit of doing so? How do we know we have them?

How can we learn from them, discover and heal? Do we take other people's views in consideration or do we go into a non positive response?

“Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.” Friedrich Nietzsche

“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.” Plato

“People don’t always see all of their own failings. These blind spots manifest due to rationalization, denial, emotional reasoning, and unconscious prejudices and stereotypes.

Lastly they don’t have enough knowledge in certain areas when making their point.
They are however not qualified enough to make an expert opinion.” LightSun

Busses have big blindspots. Tractor Trailers have even bigger blind spots. The bigger the vehicle the bigger the blindspot. The bigness is good, so blindspots just go with the turf. Imagine if Supermarkets had to rely on Door Dash to deliver produce from their Wholesalers half-way across the country day in and day out.

Can't fit much produce in the trunk of a Sentra.

So as it goes its not a matter of getting rid of blindspots (that would be unwise) but of being able to see and account for those blindspots in a way that allows the driver to get that big rig to where it needs to go without having to smash in and over the other vehicles.

That's why the mirrors on the big rig are also bigger and more widespread. This way the smaller vehicles don't get wrecked. Accidents still sometimes happen (like life happens), and then everything goes to hell but that's just the hard reality of things
