கண் இருந்தும் குருடு
Kan irundhum kurudu
Meaning
Having eyes yet choosing not to see - describes someone who knows the truth but refuses to acknowledge it.
Story
Every warning sign of a business heading downhill was there, yet the owner kept insisting, "everything will be fine." The account books told the truth plainly, but he refused to even open them. Being "blind though having eyes," he let the loss grow too large to fix.
Reader's Note
Facing an uncomfortable truth is always wiser than looking away from it.
