Summary
This quote suggests that keeping our eyes closed, metaphorically, prevents others from truly understanding or judging us. By closing our eyes, we create a shield of privacy and mystery that makes it difficult for others to perceive our true thoughts, emotions, or intentions. It implies that maintaining a certain level of secrecy or vagueness can be advantageous in preserving our personal boundaries and preventing others from making assumptions or passing judgment based solely on what they see on the surface.
