The Wall

Due to their character or to particular circumstances, some human beings refuse to acknowledge the situation they find themselves in. They prefer not to "see" and they go on living as if everything was fine. But it is not "fine". On the other hand, the people they live or interact with are aware of the situation and would like to make them face reality, but to no avail. We all know that it is impossible to make someone hear if they pretend to be deaf. Similarly, you cannot compel a self-defined "blind" to see. The metaphorical wall these people have built around themselves is so high and so thick that it is actually impossible for them to acknowledge anything that is outside, anything that is not a construction (= a belief) of theirs. Therefore it is not easy to deal with them, especially because breaking down the Wall is an impossible endeavor.
