There seems to be a great deal of elephants in rooms these days. Things we know are there, issues that we acknowledge for the most part but ignore for the rest. If we actually started talking about the elephants who knows what realms of chaos we might walk into; it seems safer to watch beasts out of the corner of your eye and continue on with whatever it was you were doing. Speaking about them might cause a stampede, or at the very least an angry glare. We are told that just continuing is enough, that doing our best is plenty—but it isn't. We should be shouting about elephants.
