  • Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 156. The proverb today is every

  • horse thinks his own pack heaviest. Meaning that it weighs the most. It has the

  • most burden. All right . Let's take a look at the note here. This proverb basically means

  • everyone always thinks that his or her own problems or burdens are worse or

  • harder than other people. This proverb stresses that it is human nature for

  • many people to behave this way or many people to think this way. Once in a while

  • some people will compare their problems to someone who has a lot more and then

  • feel lucky. There are a few people that do this once in a while. Not all the time

  • but once in a while or at least it reduces ones pain. Okay. Let's continue.

  • The proverb seemed to appear in this form in the 1700s. That's when it became more

  • popular. However, the idea was first expressed in 1573 by George Cascoigne

  • His quote was 'Everybody thinketh their own grief greatest. "Well pretty

  • much the same idea. All right. And anyway let's we have a couple of

  • examples to cover this. Example number one. Of course both of these are a.b

  • parts. So example number one. A says she is constantly complaining about her life,

  • but personally I don't think she has serious problems. And of course B would

  • say, well every horse thinks his own pack heaviest. Okay. Or number two here. Again

  • an a/b. A says why do people always complain so much ?

  • And B here says well every horse thinks his own pack is heaviest. All right. So

  • that's just the way you may hear it used. Anyway I hope you got it. I hope you

  • enjoyed it. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye.
