Peribahasa Cina - Sekecil-kecil sikap, sebesar-besar masalah



Peribahasa Cina; 千里之堤溃于蚁穴 (Qiān lǐ zhī dī, kuì yú yǐxué)

"Satu lubang semut boleh runtuhkan sebuah empangan..."

- Sekecil-kecil sikap, sebesar-besar masalah. Apabila terlepas pandang satu masalah kecil, kelak ia akan mendatangkan masalah besar.


















"An ant may well destroy an entire dam..."

- If a small problem is overlooked, it could develop into a big disaster as ant can multiply, making tunnels in the dam to allow water soak in and consequently bring it to a collapse.

For example:

The Quran says:
“O you who have believed, if there comes to you a fasiqun (disobedient or defying person) with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become regretful over what you have done.” (QS 49:6 )

Sharing is not always caring. Sharing without proper authentication and certainty is destruction. Going viral with a piece of information is as simple as clicking a button. But if we go viral with something we are not sure about, it may destroy the life of an innocent person.


Wallahu'alam
