భూతాలకు బుద్దిలేదు, నరునకు భయం లేదు

This is a traditional Telugu proverb often used to remark that women tend to realize the consequences of an action after it has happened rather than beforehand.

It mocks someone whose priorities are misplaced or who tries to maintain a facade of comfort despite being in a dire situation.

This philosophical expression emphasizes the cyclical and interconnected nature of existence.

It is used to highlight that extreme necessity or biological drives often disregard rules of conduct.
