Let’s divert ourselves a little (especially for Malaysians & Perakians … we all know why) Mother’s Day is coming soon. In fact it’s just over the weekend & I’ll be back home. I really don’t like this particular day. It’s just too commercialised.
This is the time of the year again where restaurants will come out with fanciful family dinner packages, special TV Programmes (or Packages in Astro’s case) & exceptional “discounted” priced goods & products for Mothers will be in promotion (e.g. bird’s nest or abalone etc) da da da … ya know all these crap. All the stupid commercial stuff about how you should glorify, remember, appreciate & be nice to your mother. Why the hell do you need commercial companies to remind you that you have to be nice to your Mother? Why can’t you just be nice to your mother everyday & glorify her in your heart. Those people are just out to squeeze more money out from you.
I actually thanked God for the economic downturn. You can see less of these so-called filial advertisements. They are just so sickening & pathetic. The world is probably better off without all theses so-called special days.
I only believe in ONE mothers day. And I don’t mean your mother’s birthday. It really took me some years to realise that.
We celebrated that day every year. We celebrated it almost all the time with our parents, family, friends but we sometimes spend the day alone too. We in fact never consider that day as a mother’s day. It is really our own mother’s day. Not only that the mother’s day is not shared with any other person it so personal that you don’t even share it with your siblings !
In case you still have no idea, that day is the day where we first see our mother although none of us would actually remember it. And if you’re still too dumb to understand what day is that, that day is your BIRTHDAY, idiot !
Your birthday is just really not about you. We have been spoiled so much to conclude that our birthday is all about US, US, US & no one else. We are so conditioned to think that our birthday belong exclusively to us forgetting that the day was also being shared by the only person we can call ‘Mom’ all our life. Instead of recognising the pain our mother go through on our birth day, we create a day out of nowhere to celebrate ‘Mother’s day’ with the rest of the world. Why is it so difficult to recognise our birth day as our mother’s day? Are we that ignorant about what’s in front of us?
Think about all the labor pains that your mom go through just to deliver you to this stupid reality at the risk of her own life. Think about that day where your mother actually sees her baby for the first time. That is the day where she happily takes up the responsibility of a mother. A responsibility that will probably last throughout her whole life. A responsibility to care, to nurture & to see you grow. That day my idiot friends, is our mother’s day.
(^_^) Do you agree with me ?
Anyways, Happy “Mothers Day”.
