A frog in a well knows nothing of the sea.

The meaning of the proverb is that most of us see the world only through our limited perspective.

We tend to consider ourselves smarter and more important than we really are. But this is just something due to our ignorance of what’s out of our direct sight and experience.

We must always remember that we are a part of a bigger, interconnected Universe.

Let’s expand our knowledge, experience, and awareness.
