Contradictory sayings pose a dilemma: what folk wisdom can we trust?(Part II)

in #life6 years ago


Proverbs are wonderful and complex things. They appear to be time-tried pieces of shrewdness which have been gone down through the ages. At the point when a saying is offered as a clarification, heads nod and it is acknowledged without any discussion. However, what doesn't enter anybody's thoughts is that if the correct inverse occasion had happened, a contrary saying would be presented, heads would nod, and it would be acknowledged without any discussion.
There is a saying to suit every situation and that probably is the reason why the proverbial wisdom contradicts each other.
