The story of the elephant and the blind men is a traditional Indian fable, and its origin is attributed to various sources within Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain literature. It is often used to illustrate the concept of relativism and the idea that different perspectives can lead to different truths.
In John Godfrey Saxe's "The Blind Men and the Elephant," each man touches a different part of the elephant (such as the trunk, tusk, or tail) and forms a limited understanding of the animal based on their individual experience. The poem serves as a metaphor for how different perspectives can lead to incomplete truths.
None of the men actually experienced these things; they just thought they had.
