Is love really blind or do we turn a blind eye ?
"Love is not blind-It sees more and not less, but because it sees more it is willing to see less." - Will Moss
Lovers are often blind to their beloved's negative traits and tend to create an idealized image of their beloved. We often love the idealized object rather than the real one. Are we then blind when we fall in love and when we maintain it? In a surprising number of cases, people fall in love with their idealized vision of their lovers, or with the idea of being in love, rather than with the actual reality of their lovers. Indeed people often say that they are living out their dreams with their loved ones. Positive illusions are in fact central to romance. Lovers do not see clearly, if at all, their beloved's negative traits and tend to create an idealized image of the beloved. Is this conducive ? I certainly don't believe so
Instead of turning a blind eye or loving the "potential" of your lover. Why don't you face the reality of your partner and help make changes.
It's a huge disservice to your partner when you're enabling their poor / negative traits by turning a blind eye . If you really love them , you will communicate truthfully to them about their behaviors .
