“The one who says 'come' is from the river, the one who says 'no' is from the abyss.”

Meaning

This proverb highlights the contrast between open, welcoming individuals and those who are unwelcoming or inaccessible. A hospitable person is like a flowing river (easy to approach), while someone who refuses or is difficult to engage with is like a deep, impenetrable abyss (impossible to reach). It speaks to generosity versus uncooperativeness.
