He whose trousers are made of dry grass

He whose trousers are made of dry grass should not warm himself at the fire. – Libyan Proverb.

Today in history in 193, “Roman Emperor Pertinax is assassinated by his own Pretorian Guard, who do it for profit (they will auction off his office to political rivals who want to rule ancient Rome). The killing sets the stage for the reign of the first Roman emperor born in Africa, Lucius Severus, who comes from a land that will become Libya.” – Reference: Africa Today Yesterday.

The Story of African Proverbs

Today, I have chosen to dance with African Proverbs, on a journey through the stories that they represent. I’m wondering what you make of each one of them? What they represent to you.

Personally, I can relate with some of these timeless stories. So have attempted using #AI to illustrate some of the African Proverbs.

I consider them as life lessons that emphasize the importance of humility, unity, and the wisdom in learning from every experience.

To me, these proverbs are cultural treasures and daily reminders that the essence of our shared humanity lies in our ability to learn, unlearn, relearn, grow, and come together.

Their value transcends borders, reminding us that in the complex structure of life, our most profound truths are often found in the simplest sayings.
