Tout kòd gen de bout.

Our proverb for the day is “Tout kòd gen de bout” literally translated to “Every rope has two ends”.

Haitian people say this proverb when someone explains to them their point of view of an argument they had with another person.

When the story is not clear, we don’t want to judge the book by his cover. It feels that it will be always wiser to know the whole story from both sides.

Who knows, maybe both persons are right or not? But in order to maintain a perfect balance, you must know the whole story. That proverb can be said because “Each debate has two sides”.
