blind when...

Some people say that we're blind when in love. I say they’re wrong. We're always partly blind. And here is the explanation.
Anatomically the human eye in its construction has a blind spot - a place where the nerve lies. It's a small part of retina where sensitive sells are absent, which means that it cannot provide vision. Blah-blah-blah. The point of all that scientific crap is: when we look at the world, we do not completely see it.
There's always a detail that we don't spot. Maybe sometimes we choose not to see something, and it feels ok. We fall in love, become friends with smb, believe, hope, forgive, we just live our lives. Everyday we walk around, do stuff, work, talk, laugh... but with each next moment we move on, we loose something out of sight. Sometimes it's inessential so it doesn't matter. But what if it slides a small part of something huge? Eventually it upsets us when a long time after we feel sad or angry that couldn't predict that load of crap coming out of a pink and pretty cover of a person we used to call a soulmate.
So even if we opened our eyes as wide as we could and continuously stared, we still wouldn't see it all. Because it's impossible. Some might mix this with human silliness and natural ability to be stupid. But in that case all people in the world are stupid for all people have eyes.
The wisdom comes after. After time. Or after reconsideration. Or after a second look. But the next time try to look from a different side for the blind spot wouldn't hide the same detail.
