A Thought On Inhuman Behavior
In former times, naughty children were sometimes threatened with cabe rawit (a very small hot-tasting chili) and chicken dirt to their mouths or locked up in a room, beaten with a rattan or having no meal as punishment by their parents who were angry. Now, should children then revolt against their parents and establish a movement, which is anti-, counter parents? There’s no such thing in their minds, said Pak Arif.
Suppose we persuade children to join a movement that’s countering parents. Christie, Stephen, Angie, Jason, Justin would say, “Why? They’re no foes. Dad and mama are our most loved ones in the whole world and whom we wouldn’t exchange with any other pap and mama. Even if we get a beating.
What should be fought against is inhuman behavior perpetrated not only by parents, by masters, but by anyone; not only to children, to women, but to anyone.
Wow, how sweet it would be when on Woman’s Day, women celebrate the day by surprising men, their husbands with something special that’s nice to them.
Pak Arif whispered to me: “Instead of celebrating with publishing (at that time in
Complain about The Almighty who created man so black! I would rather sing, praise woman, of her goodness, her warmth, her charm, her smile, her voice her dignity, … and be very grateful to The Creator who made her, instead of exposing her wickedness, deceit, as I myself am not better than she is, said Pak Arif.
Well, I can’t wait till Man’s Day to come if there was one. I’d celebrate any day of the year by surprising women with something delightful when I’d feel like it.
And I remember the marriage agency in the news paper for men and women who wish, seek a partner. Man, woman and children united in harmony makes a happy family.
