See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" is a proverb often illustrated by the three wise monkeys, each covering their eyes, ears and mouth, respectively. While it's commonly interpreted as a call to ignore or avoid negativity, its origins are more complex, with roots in Buddhist and Confucian philosophy. It can be used to encourage prudence and avoiding evil, but also to describe turning a blind eye to wrongdoing.
