@nature.nomads2: MEANING: It is not about the river. It is not about distance. The problem was never outside him, it was inside him. The river did its part. God did His part. He brought the opportunity right to his door. But the lazy man's heart is heavy, his hands are folded. For him, even 1 step is too far. A lazy man will always find an excuse that sounds like a reason. He won't say "I am lazy." He will say: "The water is dirty." "The calabash is broken." "Someone will fetch for me." "I will fetch tomorrow." His mouth is busy making excuses, while his life is dying of thirst. African elders are teaching you this: Opportunity does not cure laziness. You can take a boy from the village to Nairobi, give him capital, give him connection, put the shop at his door — if his spirit is lazy, he will still beg you for bus fare. The river can move, but it cannot make you bend to drink. That's the curse of a lazy man he starves not because food is far, but because he refuses to lift his own hands to his mouth.
