The Friendship between oil and water: water at the bottom, oil at the top (Ekonda proverb – Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)). – Living together apparently, but deep down we do not like each other.

I’ve heard about the oil/water dichotomy before, but not worded like that. It’s great advice from the Congo and I wish I would’ve really taken heed of it long ago. Thank you.

Hi Ospreyshire, you are so right, how I wished I had heeded to so many of these proverbs years ago. … Now I know… I am wiser I guess
