MONDAY PHRASE: CROCODILE TEARS
We use “crocodile tears” to describe fake sorrow or insincere emotion. The phrase comes from an old belief that crocodiles cried while eating their victims, as though they were showing remorse. Science has since rejected this idea, but the legend survived in language. Today, the phrase reminds us that not every display of emotion is genuine.
THE LESSON? Tears may be visible, but motives are not always clear. In leadership, family, business, and relationships, discernment matters. Compassion should remain open-hearted, but wisdom should remain awake. Not every sad face carries a sincere heart. (Source: DictionaryScoop)
