From Bad To Worse

Pashto proverb:

د باران نه تښتیدلو د ناوی لاندی مو شپه شوه
‘We tried to escape from the rain, but we ended up sleeping under the drainage pipe.’

Don’t escape a BAD situation, IF the alternative is WORSE.

BAD is not GOOD, but BAD is better than WORSE.

If the alternative is BETTER, then go for it.
