It's not what language we choose to speak that's killing us; it's not the color of our skin; and it's not the foreigners.

What is killing Haitians is their inability to evolve beyond their own selfish needs and desires.

It is the stupidity of people whose egos are so big that it destroys their ability to function within the realm of civility.

Haitian people cannot hear anyone else's point of view or give room to anyone else's version of reality.

They lack the dignity and wisdom that comes with knowing that on the scale of universal knowledge, the wise man is the one who accepts that he knows nothing (Socrates said this).
