African Proverbs⁠.

❛ Only a fool tests the depth of a river with both feet ❜⁠

Meaning: You don’t jump straight into a situation without thinking about it first.⁠ ⁠ ⁠

❊ Talk about us ; African Proverbs⁠.

Language shapes the world. It relates us to society and with those we share it with. Through language we name the things that we think that we see, our feelings. It creates, and at the same time, represents and teaches because also by using it, we learn what each thing is, how we live together, what we believe to be true. ⁠ ⁠

Language is a mirror of the world in which we live, but a magic mirror like the one in Alice in Wonderland, which also teaches us the infinite possibilities to rename reality and therefore redefine it. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠
