If you do a task you're responsible for at work, is that really a favor to everyone else? That's the idea behind the proverb: "Feeding your wife is not doing a favour to the whole village." A husband caring for or providing for his wife is meeting a responsibility to his family, not serving the village. The same is true when parents educate their children or you care for your family. These things matter, but they are not charity to society; they're care you owe your own family. The proverb challenges anyone who presents ordinary duty as a grand gift and expects applause. You could say, "That's what you're supposed to do." No. Doing your job is no favor to everyone else-and caring for your family is your responsibility, not charity to the village.
