Meaning
This reads as a complaint about how obvious judgment is so often ignored. It points to the gap between knowing the sensible thing and actually doing it, and can be taken to mean that practical wisdom is scarce not because it is hard to find, but because people overlook it. It lands in a workplace or family argument where the simplest fix has been staring everyone in the face.
