뜻
Emotional pain fades over time.
문화적 배경
Latvians are known for their 'viensētnieka gars' (solitary farmstead spirit), which emphasizes self-reliance and quiet endurance. This proverb perfectly encapsulates that spirit. Across the Baltics (Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia), there is a shared history of occupation. This proverb is often used in a collective sense to describe national recovery. In the age of social media, this proverb is frequently used in 'wellness' and 'mental health' circles in Latvia, often accompanied by nature photography. While the proverb itself is international, it resonates with the Latvian belief in 'Likteņa lēmums' (the decision of Fate), where time is the medium through which fate works.
Use it for empathy
If you don't know what to say to someone who is hurting, this is the safest and most respected phrase in Latvian.
Don't be too literal
Avoid using this if someone has a fresh physical injury; they might think you're being sarcastic about not helping them.
