Blinded: Unable or unwilling to see, perceive or understand.
Blinded in Obsession: A state where some persistent idea dominates one's thoughts or feelings so much that one is unable or unwilling to see, perceive or understand a thing/phenomenon/explanation.
The above three definitions, in a sense, sum up what this post is all about.
At some stage in our life, we are all blinded in obsession.
The obsession could be related to our family members (e.g. where we love our near and dear ones so much that we overlook or pretend to overlook his/her wrongdoings) or someone we idolize (e.g. Narendra Modi, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Gandhi) or demonize (e.g. Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi).
The reason I have mentioned Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi in both the categories is because a section of us idolizes them and goes to any extent to eulogize them, while the other section demonizes them and goes to any extent to castigate them.
The common thread: the two sections are often blinded by obsession and often chose to overlook or ignore facts while eulogizing or castigating them.
