Lack of foresight is a term used to describe the inability to anticipate future consequences or events. It is often referred to as MYOPIA, which is derived from the Greek word for 'near-sightedness'. MYOPIA is a condition in which objects that are far away appear blurry, and it is also used to describe a lack of long-term vision or planning. In other words, someone who lacks foresight may be unable to see the potential consequences of their actions or decisions.
