You can't see the trees for the forest!
Not seeing the forest for the trees means being too close to a subject to see it in its entirety, paying too much attention to parts of a thing and not enough to the whole.
The word see does not really have an opposite. But the opposite of seeing is not seeing.

This is a saying that means to overlook the obvious. The phrase is "Cannot see the forest for the trees." It means to focus attention so much on details that you miss the over-all view. You cannot "see the forest" if the trees are in the way. May the forest be with you
No, he did not.
John Heywood - The original proverb was "can't see the wood for the forest."

no because trees cant laugh -how does that person know trees can't laugh? Just because they've never seen it? I've never seen my husband do the dishes, but that doesn't mean he can't!
it means night blocks out the trees so you cant see them
You cant, but if you put honey on the tree they will come to you.
A muck fire burns under the ground and is stirred up by lightning. THey cannot be put out, you cant see them, and they are not destructive. Forest fires take place in forests, and they burn down trees.
It means that if you look at things one at a time, you might not realize that a branch of separate "trees" go togehter to make a "forest" When you are too close to a situation you need to step back and get a little perspective. When you do you will notice there was a whole forest you couldn't see before because you were too close, and focusing on the trees. Simply that you have focused on the many details and have failed to see the overall view, impression or key point.
