ఎదుట లేకుంటే, ఎదలో ఉండదు.

This proverb highlights the difference between constructive criticism and backstabbing or deep emotional hurt.

This proverb highlights the transient nature of value based on possession and proximity.

This proverb is used to describe a person who acts arrogantly or recklessly simply because there is no authority figure around to keep them in check. It highlights how people's behavior changes when they lack accountability or supervision.
