I agree with quite a lot of what you say here, both the part about children and the will of ------, The L--ds will. As you know Haiti much better than I do, do you believe this is a major block in the country moving forward?
Yes.
There is a common saying in Haiti that "Only G-d can judge me."
This gives the bad guys immunity for
each and
every crime.
They beleive that 200k people are dead because T-- L--d G-- A--ight- is ****ed at them. That they brought this on themselves.
This is what they are taught.
Ask a Haitian where g-d was on the 12th January and they have 1 of 2 answers - he works in mysterious ways or he is punishing us.
Voudou is even more punitious than chr--tian--y in this regard.
They beleive that Loupgarous (werewolves / lycanthrops) will eat their children given half the chance.
This winds me up as I am trying to explain to a 4 year old and a 6 year old that nobody is trying to kill them. The piles of mashed up bodies were not their fault. They are good people and it is OK to laugh again.
Sometimes I catch them off guard and they giggle and laugh like children should. But when a truck goes past the apartment and the windows vibrate, they look at me like G-d is coming back to finish them off.
I have assured them that if G-d even attempts to come into my apartment he will see the skinny end of my machete.
They are safe here.
Sorry Mods, but that is how it is in my house.
As long as Haitians are taught from birth that their actions are incidental to their own futures, there is little hope of them breaking free from the self imposed slavery of superstition.
