This proverb reminds us of the futility of seeking answers or solutions in circumstances or states of mind that don’t allow us to see clearly. It is like a blind person trying to look at themselves in a mirror; they cannot obtain any relevant information from this action. This proverb is often used to highlight the futility of searching for answers when we are unable to perceive reality or understand the situation clearly. The equivalent English proverb might be “Looking for a needle in a haystack” to describe such a situation.
