ENGLISH: THE UNRESPECTED HONOURABLE

The source of the above saying is a boss who has lost his/her status. This respect being talked about in this saying can come because of someone’s age or nature of job one is doing. The respect that comes from age can be more permanent than the one that comes from the nature of job. Therefore, there is a possibility of someone holding a top position in leadership to be demoted. In such a context, the demoted person can be labeled as unrespected honourable.

The saying can be compared to a person who has been given a great deal of responsibility in his/her area. When the power diminishes, he/she comes to be an ordinary person. This is why people call him, ‘the unrespected honourable.’

The saying teaches people to stop promoting stereotype in life by being arrogant when in power. Rather, they should do their jobs by respecting others as well.

ENGLISH: YOU WILL ENTER INTO BIGGER PROBLEMS.

The source of the above saying comes from someone who has encountered some problems in life. These problems need to be resolved using some available resources in the family.

This is why people can warn such a person by saying, ‘you will enter into bigger problems.’
