Yep pretty much. It's one of those 'sayings' that applies to everything from food to opinions, etc. and serves as a reminder that we're a little speck in this huge planet, not to mention universe!!

Using myself as an example, I am from Puerto Rico (little island in the Caribbean) and some of my friends tried to deter me from moving to the US. To me they're like those froggies in wells, choosing to stay enclosed as opposed to going "out there" and discovering what the world (ocean) has to offer.
