የሚያድግ ልጅ አይጥላህ የሚሞት ሽማግሌ አይርገምህ
“May a growing child not hate you, and a dying elder not curse you.”
Meaning
This proverb emphasizes the importance of respecting and maintaining good relationships with both children and elders. Being hated by a growing child implies not fostering positive connections with the future generation, which can lead to future repercussions. Being cursed by a dying elder signifies losing significant blessings or facing misfortune, as elders are traditionally seen as sources of wisdom and blessings. The proverb advises treating everyone well, particularly these two groups, to ensure a blessed future and a peaceful end to one's life.
