A proverb a day to brighten the day!

583a. Kennt der Topf den Geschmack des darin gekochten Brei?

583b. Does the pot know the taste of the porridge cooked in it?

It is not just the pot which is ignorant of the taste of the porridge cooked in it.

Most human beings do the same thing and remain ignorant of
the virtues and merits of those people who are closest to them.

If ever they realise the virtues and merits of anyone in their life,
it will be when that person is no more and this realization is of no use!

footnotes:
Kennt = Knows
der = the
Topf = pot
den = the
Geschmack des = the taste of
Brei = the porridge
gekochten = cooked
darin = in it ?
