PROVERBS ON GREED AND SELFISHNESS
Do not wipe your mouth on the
ground like chicken.
You should not be so greedy as not to appreciate what you get from others.
The dog's mouth has been torn
wide.
This proverb ridicules people who eat greedily casting all sense of decency to the wind.
The stomach brought down the eagle
Greed can make peeple lose a sense of direction or lead them destruction.
It is bitter when it is for an
animal but sweet when it is for a person.
This is a warning against selfishness and insensitivity towards people. People are quick to notice that something is hurting when it applies to them, but when a similar thing applies to others they do not care.
The
stomach brought down the hyena.
Greed is destructive and can have suicidal effects on the greedy |
