"الثعلب يدين الفخ وليس نفسه"

Simplified Meaning:
When something goes wrong, people often blame external factors instead of looking at their own actions. Imagine a kid who failed a test. Instead of thinking about how they didn't study enough, they might blame the test for being too hard. This quote is saying that it's easier to blame what's outside of us, like the trap, rather than recognizing our own mistakes. Think about a driver who gets a speeding ticket and then complains about the speed limits being unfair instead of admitting they were driving too fast. By blaming the trap, the person avoids feeling responsible for their own actions. However, taking responsibility helps us learn and grow from our mistakes.
