To identify the specific blind " 'cause" - involves understanding the most probable taboo applicable - which presents the first obstacle and tangent forming results.
Before a conscious question forms, the parameters (and answers) are unconsciously set:
What do we need to know?
And..
Do we want to know?
I.E:
- What does knowing involve?
- Does knowing involve anything else?
- How do we benefit?
- Or....
- Does knowing involve some 'thing' less attractive or difficult?
- What options are available?
- What's the 'easiest' way to deal with this?
Almost invariably the latter is selected as this is an obvious preferential choice.
In a 'Politically Correct' environment, if someone should point and exclaim, "There's an Elephant!"
and the Elephant immediately responds saying, "Where?" or "Don't be silly!"
(and everyone else - on cue - continues pretending they have not noticed) it's even possible that the one pointing a finger would be treated with scorn, dismay by all else around (including the elephant) for being so impolite and un oblivious.
If you walked into a room and spotted something strange, would you point and exclaim? Or would it be easier to pretend, like everyone else seems to be?
Would you turn to another and comment, surreptitiously, "Don't you think that's a bit odd/weird/different?"
What if they replied, "No - do you?"
Could you be honest and explain why you do?
What if you couldn't quite define it, and the company weren't interested / appreciative or disagreed?
Could you then understand and accept, like the child crying, "Wolf!". why those around you, who (after all) just want comfort of uninterrupted sleep - warm and safe - in their beds, don't thank you or would you feel confused when you're told that you're wrong or maybe that you're lying?
How hard is it to see an Elephant in the room, a wolf or something 'else' in dispute?
Sometimes
It's not easy.......
