Sa je pa wè; pa fè kè tounen.
“What the eyes don’t see doesn’t sour the heart.” What you
don’t see doesn’t bother you.
I had to pause and
think about this one for a minute. It reminded me of a post I did awhile back
called “Disturbed.”
This proverb sums up one of the reasons that I believe everyone should go on a missions trip to a third-world country at
some point in their life. Looking at pictures and seeing news clips just doesn’t
have the same effect as SEEING a person’s suffering with your own eyes.
As a culture, we
have gotten very good at ignoring the news. We teach our children to turn their
eyes away from certain things. But sometimes we need to LOOK. If we never truly
SEE the suffering of others, SEE their need for the gospel, it will never
bother us. We will never be pushed to DO something.
