"If yu nuh step pan hans yu nuh knoa wah inna im belly."
Translation: If you dont step on an ant, you wont know what's in it's belly.
What does this mean? You wont truly know what's inside an individual, how they feel about an issue until something comes up that triggers a reaction. I had a live example this morning, and it was amazing to listen and observe how this individual reacted to something and how they displayed their belief system on the issues discussed without even knowing what's happening.
Application: (when & how to use this proverb). Let's say you are having a discussion with an individual who always maintained that they have forgiven someone with whom they held a grudge or bitterness, anger and or contempt. A topic comes up where reference is made to that individual's behaviour from 20 years ago, and you, the listener said, "well, that's a long time ago, he or she is an adult now, is in a good career with responsibilities so you cant look at him or her the same way", the other party in the conversation freaks out - and all hell break loose! This is when you say - man, if yu nuh step pan hans yu nuh knoa wah inna im belly.
It's been a while since I published a post, I didnt abondon my blog, just took a break - I'm back!
Enjoy,
