What is the moral of Humpty Dumpty?

Answer 1

Once an egg has been cracked, it can never be the same again.

An egg shell is thin. To survive a fall, in whatever metaphoric sense, one must be strong. There is a saying: " Harden the f*** up, princess!"

Avoid the tall poppy syndrome. If you sit on a throne, know that at some stage you will come down. yabba yabba yabba. Life is short. Live it up. Fall at the end.

Answer 2

The story goes like this by my memory (the bolded words are Humpty Dumpty's fate):

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king's horse and all the king's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again!

So basically, Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall but no one could put his pieces back together.

One suggestion for the origin of the rhyme is that it dates back to the English civil war and a cannon on Colchester Castle which was nicknamed Humpty Dumpty. The story is that the Roundheads damaged the wall under the cannon so it fell from the castle and that the Royalists (all the King's Horses and Men) couldn't recover it.

Answer 3

The moral of Humpty Dumpty is that once something is broken, it cannot always be fully repaired or restored to its original state. It serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of being careless or taking unnecessary risks.

Answer 4

Don't rely on others
