Meaning of Proverb & Background


Think of the sun in the sky; it rises every morning and sets every evening without fail. In the same way, there are some people who, like the sun, are always doing things that are not kind or good. They keep doing wrong things day after day, just like the sun rises and sets.

This African proverb reminds us that there are people who choose to do bad things, and they don’t stop. It’s essential to be aware of this and make sure we are doing what’s right and good, even when others around us may not be. Just like the sun, we can choose to be a source of light and warmth in the world by doing good deeds and being kind to others, no matter what others may do. So, even though there are always some who do wrong, we can choose to be better and make the world a brighter place.
