"It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block"

This quote by Paul Gauguin is a warning to be knowledgeable about the constraints of our own understanding and understanding. He is cautioning us to be knowledgeable about the tendency to designate a single, unchanging definition to everything we encounter. This is a kind of lack of knowledge, as it fails to recognize the complexity and nuance of the world around us. We need to be careful not to let our own limited viewpoint become a stumbling block to our growth and advancement. We must be open to originalities and point of views, and want to challenge our own presumptions. By doing so, we can broaden our understanding and gratitude of the world around us.
