Proverb #193

“Aka nri kwọọ aka ekpiri (ekpe), aka ekpiri akwọọ kwa[a] aka nri.”

"The right hand washes the left and the left hand returns the favor"  

You probably did this the last time you washed both hands. But its not about the hands - its all of life. Reciprocity is the name of the game! You need others and they need you. Stop acting as if you don't need anyone's help. Or maybe you need to remember that there is always value you can add to others.

See how basic these lessons are - your hands caught on when you were just a wee little one.

So come on, the next time you're at the sink remember that there - is a good way to live life.

The right hand washes the left and the left hand returns the favor.
