"I've never looked through a keyhole without finding someone was looking back"
Simplified meaning
When you try to find out someone else's secrets, you might discover they're watching you too. Imagine you peek through a small hole in a door to spy on your neighbor. Suddenly, you realize they're watching you from the other side. This can show how our curiosity about others' private lives can lead us to being exposed as well. It's like trying to eavesdrop on a friend's conversation and then getting caught—it's embarrassing and makes you realize you should respect their privacy. In real life, this teaches us to mind our own business and be cautious about invading others' personal spaces because it might backfire. It’s better to focus on our own actions rather than prying into what others are doing.
