"They Said in the Mountain" is a program that restores a portion of the popular heritage of the mountain people through proverbs, tales, and sayings passed down through generations, revealing in each episode the story and meaning behind one of these sayings.
One episode focuses on the proverb (When fate strikes, sight goes blind), which researcher Fawzat Rizk worked to document. Its story tells of a man known for his intelligence and caution, who nonetheless 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."
Hence, the story turned into a piece of wisdom that summarizes the idea that man, no matter how much he plans and takes precautions, may find himself facing destinies that go beyond his calculations, with proverbs remaining a testament to the community's memory and inherited wisdom.
