Mandaly, kilès ou pa ka viv san li: lapè nan tèt oubyen lapè nan vant?

O O!  Lè mwen te fèk wè kesyon sa, mwen panse li te fasil.  Men apre anpil kalkil, mwen wè li difisil.
 Mwen panse mwen bezwen toulede pou'm viv.
Si'm pa gen lapè nan vant mwen, se gwo tèt chaje. Grangou va touye'm.
Si'm pa gen lapè nan tèt mwen, se pi gwo tèt chaje. Chagren va touye'm.

To live without either one would be tough for me. But if I had to choose I think I'll chose to live with lapè nan tèt (peace of mind, and tranquility).

      Peace of mind definitely :). Because if you don't have peace of mind, you may not have 'peace of stomach'. Si ou pa genyen kè poze ou ka pa gen okenn apeti.
