RE: See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ˜Š

So I always thought that this was to not see, speak or hear evil. I took it literally. As we humans do.

What does it mean to you? ;) #curious

Great minds think alike Nicky! I also took it very literally, cause considering nothing is good or bad but all just is and itโ€™s our perception that dictates what is and isnโ€™t evil, then it makes total sense.

Although when I was reading about it before posting yesterday, wikipedia said some used this phrase to describe people who turn a blind eye on things.

I think your first assessment may be more on target, actually :) I didn't think of this perspective. Thanks for sharing. Now I'll have to give it more thought ๐Ÿคซ You are clever!

My understanding was that we shouldn't see (? - which doesn't make sense); speak or hear (? which also doesn't make sense) any evil.

I actually used it for this perspective but I don't think it's meant to be this. Mine was a creative use of it...

Glad I'm not alone! :D

My understanding when I asked was that, if we practice non-judgement and get to know ourselves well enough, we begin to understand other people's action with compassion.

I guess we will never know what it means in full unless we ask the artist
