Haitian Proverb: Emptiness


A proverb of both patience and the recognition of how difficult life in Haiti is.

Sak vid pa kanp.
An empty sack can't stand up.

You can't get much work done on an empty stomach.



(It is easy to sit on comfortable sofas and judge a people's reaction to suffering.
When were you last so hungry you grew fearful?)
