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

in #life7 years ago (edited)


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.

I have always had a confusion about which one I should think about in certain situation and sometimes have used the opposite one's too and trust me that became awkward :P
I am sure many of you might have encountered these in the past. Let's look at some that I have observed and have used time and time again but often in wrong situations :P

Traditional Proverbs – eh! It is true we can’t trust anything said by anyone above ____ [fill in any number]
Next time you find yourself agreeing with a proverb, stop and think of its opposite. Maybe this struggle to find the contradictory proverb will stimulate the insight to help you make a better decision.
