Share a proverb you think is completely wrong and make your case.
‘Time heals all wounds’
I wondered who in their deluded wisdom came up with that.
AI said….as they read it..
Menander (c. 342–290 BCE) — A Greek dramatist whose line “time is the healer of all necessary evils” is cited as an early form of the idea.
Terence (c. 190–159 BCE) — A Roman playwright whose Latin line “Diem adimere aegritudinem hominibus” (“time assuages human ailments”) is widely credited as the origin of the proverb’s modern form.
I will stick with the ever wise and wonderful Eleanor Roosevelt’s idea being
‘You never really get over grief. You learn to live with it’
Agree! In my opinion…Time may blur the edges of grief but never truly heals it. Time brings me new coping mechanisms but no true healing.
Hope your day is off to a great start! 😊
