*Large eyes do not mean good Vision.*

    *________________________*

     ```African Proverb```

 

????

*Meaning: Having big muscles does not mean you are strong. Having many books does not mean you are smart. And likewise , having big eyes does not necessarily mean keen vision. Even merely having eyes does not mean one can see. Sometimes we tend to glory in things that are illogical, to say the least. What is good about having books that you don't read? Like someone has said, "the man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read". Another way we can interpret the proverb is this: Large eye in this sense is a metonym for leadership. Thus, it means the fact that someone oversees to a large group of people does not mean they know everything to the minutest detail. It needs to be added though that it's not an excuse for a leader not to care about the details of the lives of his people. It is just to say that we must bear with those in high positions, particular those who are making effort towards doing what is right and best. Be understanding!*

   ```AFRICAN PROVERB```

 

*Meaning: This proverb cautions us against two groups of people. The first group are the hypocrites and sycophants. In this regard, it teaches us that a smiling face is not always a reflection of a joyous heart. A smiling face could be a cover-up of a wicked heart. The fact that a person laughs with you does not mean they love you. The fact that a person smiles with you does not mean you are safe to share your problems with them. Don't be deceived! The person you think is a friend can be a fiend in disguise. The other group of people this proverb speaks about are: suffering and sick people. Some people put on smiles not because they deliberately want to put on a false appearance but because they are trying to be happy. They do not want others to pity them. Parents must know their children well enough to know when their smile is a concealment of an emotionally sick heart. A leader must realize when his followers are only putting up a front to hide their suffering. And a doctor must look beyond a patient's smiling face to realize if the patient is pretending in order to avoid medication. Be precautionary!*
