Comments: 
The traditional proverb is used to warn individuals who have struggled in life to achieve prosperity. It shows that even if one is wealthy today, the past which is associated with poverty, always lurks around ready to attack. The postproverbial however notes that whatever secrets we keep about our pasts, they wil always catch up with you.
