"الأشرار يشربون الماء كثيرًا؛ كما أثبت الطوفان"
— Miguel de Cervantes
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that people who do bad things often end up causing a lot of harm or trouble, much like how a flood, which is just a lot of water, brings destruction. Imagine a flood coming to a town: it destroys buildings, homes, and makes life very hard for everyone living there. In the same way, when someone wicked does something wrong, their actions can spread and hurt many people. For instance, think of a dishonest politician. They might start by taking a little bit of money that doesn’t belong to them. But soon, they might steal more, make unfair laws, and hurt a lot of people’s lives. Just like the flood, their bad actions create waves of problems. The lesson here is to be aware of the damage that can come from bad behavior and to try to act with goodness and honesty. It’s also a reminder to watch out for people who might cause harm and to take steps to protect oneself and others from their bad actions. By choosing to be kind and fair, we help build a stronger, safer community for everyone.
