The window to the world can be covered by a newspaper.

Summary

This quote signifies that staying only within our own small bubble can limit our understanding and perspectives of the world. The newspaper symbolizes a self-imposed barrier that blocks our ability to see what is happening outside of our immediate surroundings. It encourages us to open our eyes, seek knowledge from various sources, and explore diverse cultures and ideas. By doing so, we expand our horizons and gain a broader understanding of the world, its complexities, and the people who inhabit it.
