Pŕoverbs distill the essence of a culture so its the values they teach that is a guide on our lives.Bah perpatah or a peribahasa is succvinct and subtle message unlike the coarse,vulgar language of internet trolls that insult our sensibility like dumbfu#£ or big dick energy or
I feel that i use outdated language so to be in touch with trends,i need to fit in.i stick to cara halus untuk bertutur .i like the Malay proverb
"Gajah mati,tinggal gadimg.
Harimau mati,tinggal belamg.
Manusia mati,tinggal nama."
So after we die,we may be forgotten but our good name and deeds live on.when an elephant dies,he lives behind his tusk.when a tiger dies,he lives behind his stripes but when a man dies,he lives behind his name.
The Chinese proverb that teaches one to be humble and not overinflate his ego is my favourite.
山还比一山高 ( yi shan hai bi yi shan gao)
Tian wai you tian
Yi shan hai bi yi shan gao
Beyond the sky is even more space
One mountain is tall but the next mountain is even taller
So when one feels he is good,there is another better.
When one feels he is strong,there is another stronger
