"The
monkey does not see his own hind parts; he sees his neighbor's"
- It is difficult for human beings to see and admit their own inadequacies;
yet, they don't hesitate to condemn others over trifles that they readily point
to as faults.
If your mouth turns
into a knife, it will cut off your lips. [Interpretation]
A borrowed fiddle
does not finish a tune.
The monkey does
not see his own hind parts; he sees his neighbor's. [Interpretation]
A ripe melon
falls by itself.
If words fail no others will avail.
Long ago did not live long ago.
