Understanding the aphorism “I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs.”
Understanding the aphorism “I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs.”
“I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs.” "I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs". This aphorism is often misattributed to William Shakespeare, but is actually said to be a Persian proverb, most notably appearing in The Gulistan of Sa'di, written in 1258 C.E.
It is sad that even after centuries of its being penned down, we who call ourselves the “Intelligent Species” still keep reading it only as a Proverb / Maxim, quote it maybe a million times but yet do not understand or follow the deep meaning of it.
Spare some time to try and understand it a little better at least now.
