盲目 (máng mù) means 'blind' in a figurative sense — lacking awareness, discernment, or judgment in one's actions or decisions. Unlike 瞎 (xiā), which can mean 'blind' of the eyes or 'blindly' in a random/foolish way, 盲目 emphasizes acting without critical thought or foresight. It also contrasts with 一味 (yī wèi), which means stubbornly persisting in something, often ignoring other factors.
