The way out is through the door. Why is it that no one will use this exit? —CONFUCIUS
This above quote is stating the obvious. What is it that keeps us from seeing the obvious when it comes to solving a problem or finding a solution?
Once we see that the problem is solvable, it’s hard to go back to the original thinking. The solution is clear to us. We have dropped our assumption we had about the problem, thus in hindsight the solution seem so obvious.
We know that assumptions are beliefs we hold true without testing it. Our assumptions like to feed on our doubts. Assumptions are like having blinders on; we cannot see beyond them.
We can only see darkness, but if we take them off, then we can see clearly everything.
