Can't see the forest for the trees

To become so caught up in the small details that you're unable to step back see what is going on or what will happen. Our take of reality gets bent as we are too involved.

Like when person is so focused on finding an error in day a book, that they didn't take the time to enjoy it for what it was; a story.

Another would be say a brother or siser begs you to hide them, acts nervous (you ignore this) They look out windows (you ignore this too) as you just want to catch up. They ask you to hide a knife .... a bloody knife ..

The trees fall away yet?

Struck blind in the ugly tree forest

A person struck blind in the ugly tree forest is many times more ugly than a person hit with the ugly stick. As the blind person wanders around in the ugly tree forest bumping into ugly trees, they become uglier and uglier.

Your date might have been ugly, but mine was struck blind in the ugly tree forest.
