Always good to be vigilant concerning our blind spots

"We all fall prey to preconceptions that make us take certain things for granted. This is a dangerous thing. Our slavish reliance on our own common sense  creates a blind spot.”

- by the Japanese author Seichō Matsumoto in his novel Tokyo Express. Translated by Jesse Kirkwood. [In English translation p 138.]

Great read, strongly recommended.
