"Elephant in the
room" is an English metaphorical idiom for an obvious truth that is being
ignored or goes unaddressed, the idiomatic expression also applies to an
obvious problem or risk no one wants to discuss. When it comes to this proverb,
I guess we must stress the words OBVIOUS
TRUTH. Clearly due to the size of an elephant, it is Obvious for everybody or
everyone to see that there is an elephant in the room and it would be
ridiculous to ignore or pretend that the elephant is not there because OBVIOUSLY it is.
When it comes to the truth
people tend to ignore reality or the truth, even though it is right in front of
our feet. Sometimes people are too comfortable, lazy, scared, and insecure to speak
out the truth for the sake of staying in ones comfort zone.

We might think if the truth
remains unuttered, everything remains the same. We must not always fall for
this false conclusion, if an obvious
truth stays unexpressed like an elephant in the room, we might cause ourselves
way more difficulties and troubles than if we would have spoke it out ever
since.
