Question

Give me an expansion of an idea on the proverb 'you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar'

Answer 1

Answer:

The proverb 'you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar' suggests that being courteous is much easier than being rude and disrespectful.

Explanation:

'Flies' reflect your goals - everything you wish to accomplish. 'Honey' refers to the acceptable actions you take to accomplish your goals. 'Vinegar,' on the other hand, is any unpleasant substance or procedure used to obtain what you desire. Therefore, when attempting to capture flies (i.e., obtaining what you desire/your goals), you would be wise to employ pleasant means (i.e., honey) rather than disagreeable ones (i.e., vinegar.) In other words, people get greater success in life by being kind rather than cruel, rude, or disrespectful.
