Kora Musician Baba the Storyteller

When times get a little rough, and ya’ll know what I mean, I sometimes turn to this simple proverb which makes me smile:

“Do not curse the creator for having created the lion, be thankful that it was not given wings.”

Can you imagine?

I know that each of us engages in our own introspective struggles and internal issues, but if, just for a moment, everyone could stop and realize that, no matter how bad you got it, someone else is having it a lot worse.

There probably is another world where lions have wings. Aren’t you glad you don’t live there?

“Dooni dooni kononi be nyaga da.”
