If you were honest with yourself you could see it

It could be right in front of you but you can choose not see it. Maybe you did see it but you wouldn't acknowledge it. That doesn't change the facts that are there in front of you that are needed to honestly see things for what they truly are. Ignoring something doesn't make it go away. To make the right decision you have to weigh in all the facts. Even if the fact is your way of thinking may be what is preventing you from seeing things clearly. You may realize that deep down inside you knew but it was just a fact that you didn't want to believe. The fact is your opinion is the only thing that guides you and your opinion is based on the facts you know.  Keep your eyes wide open so you can have an opened mind to consider all the facts.
