Thai proverb of the Day: "It’s hard to get the cane out of the elephant’s mouth" Powerful life lessons on greed, human nature and attachment

Thai proverbs often use simple rural imagery to explain human behaviour and how they react to certain situations. One such saying 'It’s hard to get the cane out of the elephant’s mouth' compares a sugarcane stick in an elephant’s mouth to situations in life that are difficult to reverse once they’ve begun.
