Haitian proverb of the day: "It's the house's rat that eats the house" and its enduring wisdom on "the enemy within" - The Times of India
When something goes wrong, we always suspect the hand of the outsiders and give the benefit of doubt to our nearest ones, though they might have the maximum scope and access to stab us in the back. An old Haitian proverb warned us about such a situation and alerted us that the attack may come from where it's most unexpected, the corner we overlooked and thought we were the safest.
