OUR holy months just passed few days ago. In the wake of 3 holy months, our people used to pay homage to elder people especially monks, parent, teachers, etc. We will go visit one house after another to show our respect and appreciation on their great deeds in past. As a Buddhist community, it is another famous religious tamed season festival by lighting candles at night. Some places have special events like competition for air balloons. Anyway, this is another happy time for our people from all walks of life just like our happy new year time which is conjunction with our water festival.
Myanmar has a saying that "you won't become a couple unless you have common behavior/attitude" which is widely accepted among our people. My wife and I are naturally stingy at spending daily life. We hardly use on things we consider unnecessary. However, we both have of course one in common. It is time to consider how much we should send money to our families as a form of support. We would try to maximize when this subject is being discussed. No matter how stingy in others, we both will be visibly glad when we are able to support our families. We have strong believe that without our families support, we would not have been today we are standing for. Our families make our life easier by giving us proper education at their best endeavor despite they are poor.
Hence, we always feel that our families deserve our assets partly at least. Whatever we own today will not be realistic without their help in past. We realize that no parent will reveal their plight in order to get a favorable support from their married children. Thus, we never wait until they are asking for. We make it as a form of our duty and showing our appreciation towards their tireless effort in raising our life through ages. Of course, no other time is better than now to pay homage them and we are really delighted to send some financial help yesternight. We hope they will be happy with our latest offering package of appreciation and deemed those happiness will divert to us by mean of other form.
