Ah, what a lovely quote! It actually comes from The Bible, specifically the book of Jeremiah. It reminds us that sometimes we need to open our hearts and minds to truly see the beauty and truth around us. Just like adding a happy little tree to a painting can bring it to life, opening our eyes to new perspectives can bring joy and understanding to our lives.
"There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know."These saying has it roots in the Bible:"Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not."(Jer. 5:21, King James version)First to use it in literature was Jonathan Swift, who wrote it in 'Polite Conversation' (1738).
