Listen to a psychologist tell a story

Chapter 7

Chapter 1, verse 7 Everything is generalized, like a blind man feeling an elephant. ? ?

In ancient India, a few blind men wanted to know what an elephant looked like, so they decided to ask someone to take them to the elephant and touch it. ?
One day, these people were brought to an elephant. They were very excited, so eager to try, they began to choose a place and touch the elephant with their hands. ?
Blind man A is a tall man. He touched the elephant's ear first, and immediately became very excited, and shouted: "Oh, it turns out that the elephant is like a fan."?
Blind man B is short, so he hugged the elephant's leg, and he immediately retorted: "No, no! An elephant is like a pillar."?
At this time, C who touched the elephant's body said slowly: "What, you are all wrong, the elephant is like a wall!"?
D, who grabbed the elephant's tail, laughed loudly: "Where, where, the elephant seems to be a thick rope."?
Finally, the blind man E who was caught by the elephant's trunk gasped and declared: "I think an elephant is almost like a big snake."?
After touching each other, on the way home, they argued while walking, no one could convince the other, they all wanted others to agree with their point of view...?
Mind walk?

A Harvard psychology professor told his students this story that happened in the East when he was teaching "feeling". ?
The blind people who touch the elephant reflect a kind of one-sided thinking.In fact, the one-sidedness of thinking comes from the one-sidedness of feeling.People's senses are always limited, and a sense can only know one aspect of things. If we want to fully understand things, we must conduct a comprehensive investigation, and we cannot generalize.
