Ognuno vorrebbe scavare la brace con le mani degli altri (proverbio napoletano)
Everyone would like to dig in the embers with someone else's hands (Neapolitan proverb)
Info & reflection: There's an unwritten but structural split in every human system: those who put their hands in the fire and solve problems for everyone, and those who stand and watch. It isn't about missed opportunities or bad circumstances. Some people simply weren't born to be better.
