Elephant in the Room

At the first scent of objection
The fool avoids it
Deluding themselves the deal is won.
Like rotten wood covered with new paint
The sale soon crumbles when bearing weight.

Better to shine a bright light on issues
Addressing them as best able
Accepting  the truth for what it is.

A destination can be reached by more than one path.
Seek the truth and let the sale be.
