KISWAHILI: AMEMEZA MANENO.

Chanzo cha msemo huo kilitokea kwenye kitu ambacho mtu alikimeza. Kitu hicho, hujificha tumboni mwake kwa sababu huwa hakionekani. Hivyo na maneno ambayo mtu ameyaweka kwenye moyo wake huwa kama kitu alichomeza mtu. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amemeza maneno.”

Msemo huo hulinganishwa kwa mtu yule ambaye huyaelewa maneno ya hekima na kuyaweka kwenye moyo wake katika maisha yake. Mtu huyo, huyasikiliza maneno ya hekima kwa umakini mkubwa na kuyaweka moyoni mwake kwa sababu anafahamu faida yake maishani mwake. Yeye huyatumia vizuri maneno hayo ya hekima kwa kuwalea vyema watu wake, maishani mwake.

Mtu huyo hufanana na yule mtu aliyemeza kitu kikajificha tumboni mwake, kwa sababu naye husikiliza maneno ya hekima na kuyaweka moyoni mwake katika maisha yake. Ndiyo maana watu humwambia kwamba, “amemeza maneno.”

Msemo huo hufundisha watu juu ya kuyachambua maneno ya hekima katika maongezi yao na kuweka ndani ya mioyo yao, ili waweze kuzilea vyema familia zao, maishani mwao.
