Daniel Goleman-The New York Times
Turning a blind eye. Giving someone the cold shoulder. Looking down on people. Seeing right through them.
These metaphors for condescending or dismissive behavior are more
than just descriptive. They suggest, to a surprisingly accurate extent,
the social distance between those with greater power and those with less
— a distance that goes beyond the realm of interpersonal interactions
and may exacerbate the soaring inequality in the United States.
