Per some members of this bar request,I try my best to interpret this famous Swedish proverb.Please see below.
It is better to focus on hoping instead of fearing; better to focus on chewing (slow down and taste your food) instead of eating (the action, just put food in your mouth); better to breathe (it hints that we should calm down to face the problem and find the resolution) instead of complaining (complain the difficulties, unfairness, etc.); better to say something meaningful instead of talking recklessly, aimlessly; better to love instead of hatred (be kind, willing to forgive and open-mined). After all, God bless you and all good things are yours. This Swedish proverb also
reflects the values/belief of Christianity. It reflects the values of mainstream of Western world.
