Quote by Paul Gauguin

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

It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchange

Summary

This quote suggests that ignorance blinds a person to the possibility of change and diversity. When someone is ignorant, they tend to see things in a rigid and fixed way, assigning a specific color or characteristic to every object or situation. The quote warns against falling into this trap and encourages people to be cautious and open-minded, recognizing that there is often more to things than meets the eye.

Our faith acknowledges that no two people think, believe, taste, feel, hear, or encounter life in the same way. Those who are disciplined, for whatever reason, to conform to a single commonly held creed seek their own truthful and compassionate ways to live. We give our approval and seek acceptance because it is validating. It frees us to become our best selves. It is our very differences that make it necessary to practice acceptance toward one another.
