The above proverb is still applicable in many areas of our modern life. The proverb says that when there is a small hole in the garment such as a jeans and we ignore the hole then within no time the whole will become bigger and it will destroy the jeans and it will not be wearable anymore.
In the same way it is better to deal with small problem earlier, rather than giving them a chance to take a bigger shape that might eventually destroy your future.
Most of the times we ignore small problems by thinking that the things will be taken care of all by themselves. But this ignorance results in a larger loss. This proverb is applicable in many areas of life.
