"They Said in the Mountain" is a program that restores a part of the popular heritage of the mountain people through proverbs, tales, and sayings passed down through generations, revealing in each episode the story and the hidden meaning behind one of these sayings.
One episode focuses on the proverb (When fate strikes, sight goes blind), which researcher Fawzat Rizk worked on documenting. Its story tells of a man known for his intelligence and caution, yet he fell into a trap after being overcome by greed, despite all his precautions. When people reproached him, he said: "When fate strikes, sight goes blind."
Thus, the story turned into a piece of wisdom that encapsulates the idea that a person, no matter how much they plan and take precautions, may find themselves facing destinies that exceed their calculations, with proverbs remaining as witnesses to the community's memory and its inherited wisdom.
