Proverbs and thoughts (Popular wisdom) "Do not strike with your foot the canoe with which you have passed the river." Proverb from Madagascar. I am always amazed at the wisdom encapsulated in simple words taken from the experiences of the people. How many times do we complain about people or things that helped us out of tight spots? When we get out of trouble, a fragile memory or a selfish attitude makes us mistreat those who have favored us. So, keep in mind the sage advice of the islanders of Madagascar. Don't beat the canoe: be grateful. Besides, you might need it again. #proverbs #thoughts #wisdom #thankfulness. Good morning to all from South America. Have a good day wherever you are.
