The moral and meaning of this Luhya proverb
There’s always some reason for a rumour especially if the rumour is about someone is said to be doing something wrong. Therefore, you shouldn’t be quick to dismiss talk as empty as there maybe a good reason why such talk is going round.
This Luhya proverb is particularly useful when the person being talked about is a close relation as our natural instinct is to be protective not wanting the perfect picture shattered. Is it being said that your child is hooked on drugs? Or maybe that a person you know is abusive? However hard it maybe to swallow such bad talk, it could be wise to dig around. That said, in this era where lies go round the world before the truth can lace its boots, it is important to be careful.
