盲人摸象
Blind Men Touching an Elephant is an ancient Indian proverb that is well known in China.
If you only touched the trunk, you might think it was a tree
If you only touched the tail, you might think it was a rope
If you only touched the tusk, you might think it was a spear
etc.,
Make an overall judgment of something on the basis of one-sided viewpoint; take a part for the whole; a blind man feels an elephant, only touching some part of it, and concluding what the elephant is like.
It’s a good reminder that when we have strong opinions or disagree that we might be Blind Men Touching an Elephant
