Original caption

“When a thief kisses you, count your teeth” is not just a proverb; it is a warning that not every act of affection is sincere. Sometimes people come close not to love you, but to disarm you. The proverb reminds us that deception can wear the face of kindness, and that discernment matters most when charm is involved. Pay attention. Have discernment. Be careful. #kiss #harm #wisdom #blowthisup #fyp
