What is ignored? is like when you're playing with your toys and you don’t notice something small hiding behind a bigger toy.
Imagine you have a big red car and a tiny blue block. You’re focused on the big red car, zooming it around the room. The little blue block is right there, but because it's small and not moving much, you don’t see it, you just keep playing with your big red car.
That’s what "what is ignored" means in a simple way: when something is not noticed, usually because it's small or doesn't stand out. It's like the blue block hiding behind the red car, it's still there, but you don’t pay attention to it.
Why Things Are Ignored
Sometimes things are ignored because they're quiet or not moving. Like when your brother is reading a book and you're shouting about your toy dinosaur, he might not hear you at all!
Or maybe something is ignored because it's familiar. You wear the same socks every day, so you don’t notice them anymore.
So, "what is ignored" is just things that are not noticed, usually because they’re small, quiet, or familiar.
