        Your enemy will never see anything good in you regardless of how much good you do. So even if you’re dancing on water (they will still say otherwise - that you’re raising you’re kick dust)

        It simply means people will always have something negative to say no matter the situation.

        In-depth: Please refer back your records, this proverb had already been broadcasted. Why don't you select laughable and lovable one of the heaps you have handed recently, but not yet aired???
