እኔን ያለ ካንገቱ ልጄን ያለ ካንጀቱ

Meaning

This proverb illustrates the profound and visceral difference between self-love/self-preservation and a parent's love for their child. 'Cares for himself from his neck' suggests a concern for outward appearance or superficial comfort, while 'cares for his child from his intestines' signifies a deep, instinctual, and all-encompassing love that comes from the very core of one's being. Parental love is presented as far more profound and self-sacrificing.
