There are two Somali proverbs that convey the same wisdom:
“Don’t dig a pit for someone else; if you do, don’t dig it too deep, because you might fall into it yourself without knowing it.”
“He who digs a pit for his brother will fall into it himself.”
Both proverbs teach us the same lesson: Never plan evil against others, because the harm you intend for someone else may eventually come back to you.
You, from the very beginning, had nothing to do with this country. You were brought here to work in the fields. You come from one of the lowest groups of people. You don’t study, and you don’t work. You have contributed nothing good to this country. Even if all the refugees living in America were sent back, you wouldn’t lose anything, because all you do is sleep and eat.
