Yes, but shiny, happy nut jobs. Not the dark, twisted kind who shoot up schools.

I'd think being aware of something is a prerequisite of ignoring it.

It's easier in German:
Overlook - (1)übersehen: to not notice something
Overlook - (2) überschauen: to see the whole Picture.

Somebody told me that English would be less ambigouos than german I can't share the Feeling. But I may be prejudiced haveing learned german first 😉

One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain,
Third is the roses that grow in the lane.
No need explaining the one remaining
Is somebody I adore.

I don't like poetry. That is a flaw I have to live with.

overlook. To overlook something is to fail to see it. When planning a party, it's best to write out a to-do list so that you don't overlook any details. The verb overlook literally means to look over the top of. The word has come to refer to the act of neglecting something, usually because your focus is aimed elsewhere.
