This proverb highlights the significance of family ties and their impact on an individual’s life. Being part of a respected and beloved family increases the likelihood of living a happy and prosperous life. Conversely, being part of a family that is looked down upon or despised can lead to a life of misery and suffering, akin to that of a war slave. An equivalent proverb in English could be “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” which emphasizes the influence of ancestors on the success and happiness of their descendants.
