So, with all the beauty and joy of being creole why don't you just be thankful and help the people in your own families and communities with whom you share folk songs, poems and  recipes and musical tastes? You see the happiness of the communities around you. They work as units and they are committed to ensuring everyone in the unit is working. This is what a patriarch or matriarch will do. If they are not , then they have failed and the authorities will erase them. They have failed their duty to the greater community and their role is terminated.
