We do not see it because we can not afford to-because the truth is too explosive.

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes we are unable to perceive or accept certain truths due to fear or an inability to handle the potential consequences. The truth may be overwhelming or challenging, to the point where it could disrupt our current beliefs, values, or way of life. Hence, we subconsciously decide to ignore or avoid it, in order to maintain our stability and comfort. It implies that the explosive nature of the truth makes it difficult for us to acknowledge and confront, leading to its evasion.
