This is one of those da Vinci quotes that poses a question to all of us.
Of course, he’s referring to “seeing” not as a physical act, but as a metaphor for understanding reality.
Da Vinci refers to the idea of being aware of what’s around you and what’s in the world.
Those who “see” are those who are able to visualize reality in the broad sense.
Those who only see what they’re shown are conditioned to seeing through others.
Lastly, those who do not see, simply refusing to understand what the world is showing them.
