The philosophical story is inspired by the famous Indian fable, but I interpreted it base on the local characters and the many debate and argument, no matter either on political issues, religions, race etc that I read in social media/newspaper and people around me. Everyone of us loves to create our own version of reality based on our limited experience and perspective.
I find my reference here
Animated version of a similar story is reproduced here:
Blind Men and The Elephant
My interpretation
The 6 blind men wanted to know how an elephant looks like. So the task of describing is delegated to all of them.
Each of them took to different anatomy of the elephant. And they confidently started their description. Well it can't be wrong because it is through their own senses...
They derived many different description and each believed their own version. An argument broke out and it escalated.
I feel that humans are so ignorant. They fail to understand that their own prejudices blind them to see the entire picture. Even in the absence of prejudice, their view is still limited by their own experience and knowledge. But each individual is so confident of their description and understanding without realising that they are blind.
