See no evil, hear no evil speak no evil - the phrase suggests a form of self-restraint, advocating for the idea of avoiding engagement with evil or immoral acts by turning a blind eye, deaf ear, or staying silent. However, the phrase can also be interpreted more critically. It can be seen as a form of willful ignorance or denial, where one chooses not to acknowledge wrongdoing. In this context, it may represent a societal tendency to avoid confrontation with uncomfortable truths. However, I changed the words around in my own meaning, sculpting and rewording the ways but keeping the original repetitiveness. The text sentences I want to use are “I see through your eyes what you see through mine, I speak through your words what you speak through mine, I hear through your thoughts what you hear through mine”. The text is also working with the idea of interconnectedness and the sense of feeling connection between others and oneself. By choosing not to see, hear, or speak about evil, individuals can avoid the responsibility of taking action.
