I had some laser surgery to clean up some cloudiness that resulted from some old cataract surgery. I remember at the time I had the surgery. I could see clearly for the first time in years. I had gotten used to seeing through a yellow haze. I didn't know how bad my eyes had become.
Life is like that sometimes, as well. We get used to seeing a certain way and don't recognize the need for clarity.
Some examples are confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, and outcome bias. There are two books that I recommend to help:
The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli
