| it's a sair gate that has nae turnin |
|
it is a very severe road that has no turning - fear not, things change, meant as a comfort. This proverb seems to have kept up with history. In pre industrial times every day, every week, every season brought something different. And there were the seasonal periods of real idleness where you could party hard IF you'd worked hard in the seasons when the effort and sweat was needed. This is not true anymore. Not only are our physical highways straighter than they have ever been but our working days are constant from season to season and holidays are now proscribed by the boss. The proverb's modern meaning might mean - 'suck it up and get over it' |
