The Witty-ness of Proverbs
Proverbs are life lessons, with a twist of humour.
Proverbs are truth wrapped up in witness.
Proverbs are timeless and deliver a life experience in a one killer liner.
A proverb is a short, well-known pithy saying, stating a general truth or piece of advice
RIGHT AND WRONG:
Proverbs: When one has done wrong, one knows and it shows
Humor: This is humors way of prompting people to always do the right thing, as wrongdoings will eventually be uncovered.
GRATITUDE WISDOM
Proverb: When we pay close attention to the true hardships of others, our problems appear to be more insignificant
Humor: This teaches a lesson in gratitude. When one faces challenges, it is easier to complain about the negatives, than to be grateful for the positives.
MONKEY WISDOM
Proverb: If you wed a monkey for their money, and the day comes in which the money is lost, you are left solely with the monkey
Humor: This is humors way of warning us to judge one's qualities over one’s money
WEALTH WISDOM
Proverb: Wealth is found in the soul, not in pockets
Wisdom: Wealth mustn’t be measured by money, but by the priceless qualities engraved within a person from birth - one of those being integrity
TIME WISDOM
Proverb: If time chooses not to embrace you, you embrace it
Wisdom: Life doesn’t always go the way we choose, but by going it’s way we follow life’s chosen path for us.
DISTANCE WISDOM
Proverb: Endearment is measured by the heart and soul, not proximity
Wisdom: This simply says - You may be surrounded by those you're familiar with, yet still feel distant. However you could meet a stranger and feel more closely connected to them than those you know.
