This is a strong proverb which has strong meaning, it always good to be good, my dad always teach us that we should always learn to do good and do what is right no matter what.

Before I go on to talk about the proverb "dont bite the finger that feed you" they is a proverb that say's dont look down on people you meant on you way while climbing up because you might need those people when climbing down.

The proverb don't bite the finger that feed you, talk about ungrateful people.

Ungrateful people don't see any thing you do for them as anything, there is nothing you can do to please them or they will appreciate, even if it cost you your life, a lot of people are very ungrateful, they dont appreciate anything you do for them. Biting the finger that feed those not really mean you bitting or eating someone finger, it goes beyond that, it has to do with ungrateful attitude, greed behavior, selfish Behavior toward those who help you when you were down or when you were no body.

Let Me give an illustration of what it means to bite the finger that feed you or to be ungrateful.

I watch a movie last week, name Bantale, bantale was a girl, who her parents died when she was young in a car accident, she was the only one who survived the accident, and because of this the people in the community tag her as witch, that she killed her parents, bantale was a hard working girl, because people don't like to help her, so she try all means to earn a living so that she won't enter into prostitution or armed robbery, bantale was hawking pure water when a car ran into her, then when woke she, she discovered that she was in the hospital, the lady who knocked her down, was adopted by a rich woman who had no child or husband of her own, but she is very wealth, so after necessary test was carried out on Bantale she was discharge, so the lady asked her where is her house, so that she could take her home, Bantale life in a uncompleted building, so Bantale told her where she live, So the rich lady decided to take Bantale to her own house, there she treated Bantale as her child, she even adopted Bantale too,

Bantale was now living a life of her dream, she went back to her former community, and started treating people badly because of the way they treated her when she was nobody, and news got to the lady who adopted her, and she query Bantale, then Bantale apologize.

The lady will almost all of her property to her first adopted child, and will some to Bantale, Bantale was greedy, and wanted her and the other adopted child to have the same property, she even went as far as poisoning the other adopted child, Bantale plan with the lady lawyer to seduce and marry her so that the lawyer can get the lady to will her property to him, then by so doing he and the lawyer will have to share the property equally, and the lawyer play along, Bantale send boys to kidnap the lady, so that she can have all the property to her self, due to the fact that the lady is a good woman and she is into charity given, the kidnaper spare her life, and they confess that Bontale was behind it.

That is a real case of gready, and bitting the finger that feed you.

What Bantale did was total wickedness and is wrong. We shouldn't bite the finger that helps us get to the top and make our dream come through rather, we should love them and care for them.
