Anpil fwa moun reponn, "M ap gade san pran" san yo pa pran tan pou yo konprann sa sa vle di. Èske w pare pou w resevwa sa lavi vle ofri w? Ki kote ou panse "gade san pran" ka mennen yon moun?

A reflection on an answer some Haitians give to the question, "How are you?"
"M ap gade san pran." A literal translation supposes "I am watching/looking without taking." This answer implies that there is absolutely no action involved. Ironically, this same person may complain to friends about circumstances that are not to his/her liking.
Of course, we are not encouraging anyone to take what belongs to others. If we believe that life has much to offer, we will receive much. However, we have to do much more than simply watching it pass by.
