Summary

This quote by George Orwell suggests that it can be difficult for individuals to recognize and understand the immediate realities or truths that are right in front of them. It implies that people often overlook or ignore the obvious and important things that are within their own perception, and instead may be preoccupied or distracted by other aspects of their life or society. It suggests that truly seeing and acknowledging the reality around us demands effort, awareness, and a willingness to confront the truth that may be right in front of us.

I'm a big kid, I'm a kid at heart, so I still love the classic family films, such as the great Warner Bros film 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' - not the remake, but the original.
