Conversation II
Gbogbo ohun t'ó ń dán kọ́ ni jígí
Translation: All that shines is not glass
Conversations
This proverb, "All that shines is not glass," is a variant of the saying all that glitters is not gold. A mother would advise a daughter with wandering eyes that the grass is never always greener on the other side. A daughter should still appreciate what she has and not flirt with alternatives that may disappoint her. This mindset will hinder a daughter's happiness and potentially lead to regret. One does not endure adverse conditions when one is capable of the effort to escape them. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. It is the greenest where one waters it.
