Naomi Wolf Quote
Societies tell themselves necessary fictions in the same way that individuals and families do. Henrik Ibsen called them vital lies, and psychologist Daniel Goleman describes them working the same way on the social level that they do within families: The collusion is maintained by directing attention away from the fearsome fact, or by repackaging its meaning in an acceptable format. The costs of these social blind spots, he writes, are destructive communal illusions.
