I think the first time it happened was in Jellystone Park, around 1968.  Yogi the Bear turned to Boo Boo, and aptly said….”Little Buddy.  I don’t think you can see the forest for my knees.”
And Boo Boo replied, “Yogi, I think you mean THE TREES.”
So then, Yogi said…”What trees Boo Boo?  What trees?”

Or something like that.
I am pretty sure how that whole dang deal started.

Yep.  Sometimes we stand too closely…… or maybe we are in the wrong place.   We can’t see the bigger picture, the ultimate cause, the greater good.

And it that case, altering our vantage point may be a good thing.

“You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.”  – Paulo Coelho
