#SALAWIKAIN: “Kung ano ang itinanim, s’ya ring aanihin”
Similar to the English proverb “You reap what you sow” or “What goes around, comes around”
This salawikain is also similar to the “law of karma” or the spiritual principle of cause and effect. This salawikain speaks of how nature rewards (or punishes) your good (or bad) deeds.
The cartoon shows a good example of this as the logger’s car got crushed by the tree that he is cutting.
We often hear this from our elders – advising us of the perils of a bad deed and the positive rewards of a good deed. This is also said after the fact, where a person who made a mistake and who is being punished, is castigated.
Kindness is rewarded with kindness as meanness is punished with meanness. So, when on a crossroad choosing between good and evil, always remember this ol’ saying – “kung ano ang itinanim, s’ya ring aanihin”.
