In Haiti, it generally takes very little to provoke collective enthusiasm. Even what seems modest or insignificant can quickly be celebrated as a major, even exceptional, achievement. To justify this attitude, people often like to repeat: \u201cHa! Nou f\u00e8 gwo ef\u00f2 mezanmi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This tendency is not new. It has long been part of our collective imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the phenomenon around Ariana and Abigail far exceeds this triumphalism of little, or this almost chronic tendency to exalt the smallest accomplishment. It reveals something deeper: the relationship of a weakened society to recognition, to glory, and to existence in the eyes of the world.For years, the country has appeared on the international stage mainly through stories of violence, political instability, humanitarian crisis, and institutional collapse. Constantly being associated with disorder and misfortune, society has ended up developing an almost visceral hunger for moments capable of producing collective pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this context, every individual victory, every international recognition, every publicized success tends to be amplified until it becomes a national symbol. It is no longer just one person who triumphs; it is an entire people who seeks, through them, a form of psychological and symbolic repair.This need is understandable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Private communities lacking lasting greatness often end up becoming intensely attached to temporary victories. They seek in them proof of existence, an affirmation of identity, sometimes even an emotional revenge on the humiliating gaze directed at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the problem begins when this exaltation ceases to be spontaneous and becomes a political instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a government exploits this type of event to embellish its image or extract excessive political gain from it, it stops acting with responsibility and intelligence.At this stage, he becomes more of a consumer of collective emotions than a producer of national trajectories. Like a parasite, he feeds on the symbol without building what should outlive him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By overlooking the fundamental difference between event-driven success and the construction of a structured trajectory, he tends to reinforce, without even fully realizing it, a trap as insidious as it is formidable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attachment to glory or fear of its disappearance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally, event-driven success always produces immediate visibility. It attracts attention, evokes admiration, and triggers euphoria. But without serious support, without psychological, educational, or professional guidance, this visibility remains fragile, ephemeral, and can have harmful consequences, especially if it becomes politicized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
