With every peeling of the ticklish against the skin, hope grows stronger in the heart of the farmer that plays with the sharpened <em>sudip<\/em>. Rice and corn are blessings &#8211; more when they are bigger, a meager corn can never fill a sack, and no matter how tightly it is packed, it will leave the harvester loss. When rice grain is full, the harvest overflows with promise. But when the panicles bear nothing but hollow husks, pity the one who pounds them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Believe me, I will always choose the larger corn for to both the one who tilled the land and the one who reaped its bounty, neither walks away at a loss and once it is exchanged for silver, except for its value that multiplies, it grows all the more because there is truly something different about larger things \u2014 it fills every container.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>Deep wallet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Whoever can get a little more from their wallet is often the one who earns the greatest respect, for silver can easily purchase the smile of every face. And if your wallet is deep or your pockets are heavy, then spread out both your hands, for even if you spend the entire day lying in laziness, your possessions will compete to serve you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">When a person&#8217;s wallet runs deep, there will never be a shortage of shaking legs crossing the floor of your home. Sitting, waiting, and lingering, distracted by intentions they cannot speak aloud. So guard your wallet well and keep it out of sight, because if others catch a glimpse, it will become the measure by which they deal with you. Better that they never see it, so misfortune befall the one who merely counting times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">In these days, even brotherhood can be traded for the weight of a heavy pocket. And if you are but small, do not linger too close to a well, if you fall into its depths, no one will come to your aid. No hand will reach for you if you can\u2019t even reach something from your wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">But keep in mind when your wallet grows thin, where will you go? And in whom will you find refuge? For the worth of brotherhood is never measured by the abundance of wealth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>Vast inheritance<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">When time came to divide the inheritance between siblings, the fertile land apportioned with love was handed down, it\u2019s a heritage from ancestors. One stands to gain while another is left at a loss. For if the parcel that falls to you is barren, you will have little desire to till it, even furrows will fail to soften its hardened surface, worn out by those who came before. There is still no blessing like a wide stretch of fertile land, for it never wearies the hands that cultivate it when the purpose is to farm it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">And if the land is to bear pillars, choose one that is broad and level, so your mind will not be burdened with endless worries of your livelihood. For if you build your dwelling upon a slope or <em>Lepak<\/em>, you will struggle to level the flooring and also life demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Fortunate indeed is the one who inherits a vast estate, for aside from being able to pass it on to generations next, they will also be spared much hardship for as long as they are still in breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>Great <em>Tunaan<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Whenever Turu can no longer bear the sweltering heat, it is the great watering hole that he is certain to seek. Not every watering hole is deep, and not every large one is fit for bathing. Yet the truth remains that when the carabao lowers its horns and swims in the water, it does not choose with vanity, it seeks only a place where it can wash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">No two carabaos are the same. Some are bulls, some are calves, and some are albinos. Yet all of them, without exception, will seek a place to cool their bodies when the sun&#8217;s crispy heat is too much.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">And when they go in search, there is still no substitute for a great watering hole, for it has room enough for all. A small one is scarcely worth the animal&#8217;s attention, it is better left behind, for it offers little comfort and leaves someone unfulfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Yet for small, it is best that we arrive first, so we can broaden its mouth, widen its banks. Better still if it is ours alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>Big <em>Paliwatu<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">From the gnawing hunger in the stomach to the last grain swept from the rice jar, where can we find something to set the hearth aflame once more? And the crying in the cradle and hunger piles upon hunger, when will there be fire enough to warm the hearth? There is but one answer, the <em>paliwatu<\/em> must once again be separated to fetch water for the earthen jar, and to pile up dry woods to ignite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">And if it can be exchanged for only a few cents, remember the coming months. For if they are not remembered, they will soon vanish from the owner&#8217;s hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">More than a source, it gleams in the eyes of others, for no matter how many people may stand among ten, none can rival the brilliance of that which hangs and dazzling indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">That is why there is something to a large <em>paliwatu<\/em>, for all reasons, may it be preparing for the table or in enhancing the beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><strong>That is why being big is something\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Because you are not easily dismissed.<br \/>\nYou cannot simply be pushed into a hole, for you are too large to fit.<br \/>\nThey can\u2019t greet you without looking up.<br \/>\nAnd there will always be a place for you in this world.<br \/>\nYet greatness should never breed complacency, for if you grow too comfortable, even the smallest may blind your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aj Jhamier U.
