House and Appliances in Persian Proverbs
Did you think the kitchen was only for preparing food or that household items were just for our comfort?
Not at all! We Iranians use our bowls, plates, and even the beams and boards of our homes to convey moral lessons. For example, when someone “Pulls Their
Rug out of the Water,” they have faced many challenges, worked hard, and solved their problems independently. Now they can proudly say: I did it! and everyone agrees that they can tackle any challenge that comes their way.
Or, when we hear “There is a Bowl under the Half Bowl,” we can’t trust things at face value anymore. We realize there might be hidden motives, and maybe someone is trying to trick us. It’s like when your friend says, I don’t want anything at a party, only to take half of your pizza! These sayings are filled with wisdom, aren’t they?
