The idiom "beating the grass to scare the snake" illustrates a principle: those who have done bad things are often guilty and terrified. Even before their deeds are discovered, they will be frightened by the slightest disturbance. As the saying goes, "If you have a clear conscience, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night." In this life, one should strive to have a clear conscience.
You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don't.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
- Rumi -
