As kids, we were taught proverbs. We ranted them out, we had fill in the blanks with proverbs too. Perhaps, somewhere down the line, the meanings behind those few words seem to have lost their purpose. While I can go one for pages with examples, I'll stick to one of them that came up in a recent observation, and like many other observations, grew into a conversation!
There was a wedding invite I recieved recently, with the customary stuff. Along with it, right beside both the groom and the 's bride's names, the parenthesis read out their respective qualifications. No offense to any readers out there, but I find that a little funny, and a little more weird. A wedding, be it in any place, always has people close to either the groom or the bride - or even people close to their parents and/or siblings attending. Long story short, they are people who know about either one of them, and are either close enough or curious enough to learn about whom he/she has decided to spend a life together with.
This is precisely where the proverb I had in mind comes to picture... We were taught as kids.. "Empty vessels make more noise"... need I re-iterate that by vessels, the person who wrote the proverb didn't necessarily mean just proverbs?
Repeating that I intended no offense whatsoever to anybody, I hence rest my case.
