blind ambition

Typically ambition is a good thing, it's something that drives you to achieve your goals and improve yourself.

But blind ambition is when someone becomes so fixated in their ambitions that they ignore everything and everyone around them. They become blinded by their own ambition, or at least inflicted with tunnel vision. This causes them to neglect taking care of themselves and their relationships.
(Three friends, Carl, Joe, and Rick talking, sitting at a diner table. Carl is extremely tired and his clothes are messy)

Joe: Holy shit Carl, you look bad. You look like you haven't slept in 3 days, and your clothes are a mess. You okay there? What the hell happened? You gotta take care of yourself man!

Carl: Don't... matter. Yeah... I spent... eh... 3 days straight... without sleep... renovating... my coffee shop... so what? I have ambitions... Joe... it's gonna be... the best coffee shop in the whole city!

Rick: Hey Carl, we've been calling you over the last few days and you haven't responded until now. I get that you're trying to improve your business, but you can't let your blind ambition destroy your life!

Carl: Hey... shut up... screw you... I'm not gonna... let you... get in... my way... of... *Carl slumps down and falls asleep on the table*

Blind Ringing

When men buy a ring from a store without asking for they're ladies size, when they get home they try it on their lady and if it fits, then she's the correct one, if it's bigger then it'll be a lovely relationship with chances of being together forever but not 100% and if it's smaller then it's a total red flag and shouldn't be dated
X: she's the one for me

Y: Why is that?

X: The ring fucking fit.

Y: You mean blind ringing

concept blindness

Concept blindness refers to the inability to perceive or understand certain ideas, concepts, or realities, often due to a lack of necessary knowledge or vocabulary to describe them. This term can be applied in various contexts, including social and cultural understanding.
In the context of social and cultural issues, concept blindness can manifest as an inability to recognize or address systemic problems such as racism or environmental destruction. This occurs when individuals lack the concepts and language to describe and understand these issues, leading to ignorance or misunderstanding of their existence and impact.
