ሰውየው ውሀ ሲወስደው እኔም ወደ ቆላ እወርዳለሁ ብዬ ነበር አለ

✦

“When the water carried him away, the man said, 'I was going to go down to the lowlands anyway.'”

Meaning

This proverb describes someone who attempts to rationalize or make excuses for an unavoidable misfortune, downfall, or negative outcome by pretending that it was their original intention or plan all along. It illustrates a facade of control, denial, or an attempt to save face in the face of an unpleasant reality.

ትርጉም

አንድ ሰው መጥፎ ነገር ሲገጥመው ወይም በአደጋ ሲወሰድ፣ ያንን አደጋ ወይም ሁኔታ የራሱ ፍላጎት ወይም እቅድ እንደነበረ ለማስመሰል ሲሞክር ያሳያል። እውነትን የማምታታትና ራስን የመከላከል ሙከራ ነው።
