"When all candles be out, all cats be grey"

The quote "When all candles be out, all felines be grey" by John Heywood implies that in the lack of light or knowledge, all things end up being equal or identical. A candle represents lighting, and without it, whatever appears the very same. For that reason, when one remains in the dark, without a light or guidance, whatever appears the very same, and distinctions disappear. To put it simply, people who do not have knowledge see everything in the same color or light. This quote can be applied to various scenarios where the lack of understanding and understanding can make everything appear the exact same. It advises one to look for enlightenment and understanding to prevent remaining in the dark.
