Legend has it that the phrase “to turn a blind eye,” used to describe ignoring reality, has its origins in quite a heroic tale. The British Naval Admiral Horatio Nelson was blind in one eye. During a battle against Denmark, British forces signalled to Nelson to stop attacking a fleet of Danish ships.
Nelson lifted the telescope to his blind eye and remarked that he didn’t see the signal and proceeded to attack, and ultimately claimed victory.
