Question

Meaning of the proverb "be like a camel carrying sweets but dining on thorns"?

Answer 1

This expression means we should be strong and enduring like a camel, which carries sweets on its back, but still eats thorny bushes in the arid heat of the desert. It means we should be like that camel willing to bear difficulties for bringing sweet things into the people's life. Only then there will be contentment and fulfillment in our life.
