Ever heard ‘A frog at the bottom of a well’?
Literal meaning: A frog thinking the well’s tiny sky is the whole universe.
→ Someone with a limited worldview.
Similar to English ‘Big fish in a small pond’ but way more dramatic! 🐟➡️🐸
For example:
Thinking your hometown is the center of the world? Classic ‘’frog in a well’!
Bonus fun fact:
From Zhuangzi’s philosophical fable (4th century BCE). The frog argued with a sea turtle about the vastness of the ocean. 🌊Spoiler: The frog lost.
