The Malagasy proverb ‘Ny tsiny toy ny rivotra : mikasika ny tena, fa tsy hita tarehy.’ translates to ‘Blame is like the wind: it touches oneself but is invisible.’ This means that guilt or blame can deeply affect a person even if it is not outwardly visible. Just as you can feel the wind without seeing it, a person can feel the burden of guilt or criticism without it being apparent to others. The equivalent in English might be ‘Feelings of guilt are invisible but palpable.’
