(Nigeria)When you go through that phase in your life where you are finally out on your own, people tend to forget all about their past and go on with the future. There is the time that you need to look over your life at all the mistakes you have made and the things that you have learned and try to retain all that information. Without the past there would be no future. Think about all the people that were patient with you and took the time to sit with you and help you. You wouldnt be here if it werent for them. That is what I feel as thought this proverb symbolizes and stands for.In conclusion, proverbs can be used as a teaching aid or for just pure amazement. They can also educate and provide morals and values to some one without them....
