Application
It is a proverb stating that we must be up and doing at all times. It is a proverb stating that we must not shy away from our responsibilities, because when we so do and the problem started we shall not be immune against the problem.
When we see a relative, close person, doing something that is illegal we must ensure that we warn such a person, if need be we may also involve some people who are older than us, letting them know of what the person is doing which is wrong and which we have been repeatedly calling the attention of the person to so that he would change from that thing. We carry along those who are older so as to “immune” ourselves, so as to have evidence, so that everyone will know that we have been proactive on the issue before it degenerates.
It is a proverb of proactiveness.
