A lot of times when you have very short-term goals with a high payoff, nasty things can happen. In particular, a lot of people will take the low road there. They'll become myopic. They'll crowd out the longer-term interests of the organization or even of themselves.
Daniel H. Pink

For those people who fail to see the injustices that are occurring, in particular with the Muslim community, I think it's because you've sat in a seat of privilege for a long time, and you kind of choose to be myopic and not think of those people around you.

I think people tend to be very myopic and they dont understand how their actions impact others.

Bush promised a foreign policy of humility and a domestic policy of compassion. He has given us a foreign policy of arrogance and a domestic policy that is cynical, myopic and cruel.

Americans in particular are myopic. They're not traveling as much. When you were a college student, the next thing you would do on graduation was to take a year off and travel. That's what I did. I went to Indonesia.
Julie Taymor

I was near sighted. I was born myopic, and I got glasses, right after that.

Sometimes it's nice to think, Oh, I can only do this one thing. Instead of feeling like, I could theoretically, maybe, if I applied myself, could be successful in a number of different fields. That can be overwhelming. Sometimes it's nice to have this myopic vision for your life and that's the only thing you can imagine yourself doing.

Biological family is too small of a vision. Patriotism is far too myopic. A love for our own relatives and a love for the people of our own country are not bad things, but our love does not stop at the border.
Shane Claiborne

The stigma of oddness is the price a myopic world always exacts of genius.
Amy Lowell

Myopia, in more than ninety-five percent of cases, begins between five and ten years of age. It increases largely because the myopic eye is given a minus lens.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Image
Torturous advances won over generations can be lost by a single stroke of a myopic president's pen or a vainglorious general's sword.
David Mitchell
Image
We are living in an interminable succession of absurdities imposed by the myopic logic of short-term thinking.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

I can't imagine being a single parent or a single parent that doesn't have a lot of money. That's a big, huge impact on your life and your dynamic and everything - I mean, that's huge. It affects how much you have a break from just concentrating on just one other person in your life. It becomes so myopic that way, and more intense, probably.
Joan Cusack
Image
We need a new approach to national security - a bold, progressive internationalism that stands in stark contrast to the too often belligerent and myopic unilateralism of the Bush Administration.
John F. Kerry
Image
I think people are looking for an alternative because in addition to there being sort of a myopic, lemming - like ants on a sugar cube mentality on this DNS attack story by many in the media, there's just this culture of sameness. Everybody sounds the same.
Kellyanne Conway

How myopic it is to view His ministry as all crucifixion and no resurrection!
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
In the myopic world of the liberals, guns are responsible for evil instead of the perpetrator of evil. But criminals are not bound by our laws. That's what makes them criminals.
Rick Perry

I don't do the L.A. scene. I stay focused and very myopic. I don't feel I need to prove myself or be in people's faces, especially in this town.
Taylor Kitsch
