Yesterday I went to a children home in PJ. These children come from various backgrounds; abuse, abandoned, orphans, single mothers and so on. (The home is so nicely organized, with more than 20 years experience, it is very established.) The kids are a bunch of darlings when I saw them. The lil ones were playing outside while some were doing their duties. How many of us actually sweep the drain in our house? the nine year old kid did it for the home. And a 16 year old ironed everybody’s school uniforms! Wow…. wished some parents would send their pampered children to the home to learn some living skills.
Anyway, I managed to talk to a few girls staying there. What caught my attention were their beauty and their skin color. After getting to know their names and breaking the ice, they asked me what am I. (I’m of mixed parentage, Indian Chinese.) Cool, so they understood the reason to my skin colour and the lil different features. Looking at the girls, I couldn’t quite guess their parentage. They looked mixed…..
What I want to say is….. These girls don’t know who their parents were. Not that I know their individual stories, or what their background were or how they ended up at the shelter, but I went home thinking about them. They can go on guessing their mixed parentage (they were neither pure Chinese nor Indian.) if their parents never show up to acknowledge them, the children will never know their through identity in terms of race.
My point is, children don’t come into the world by their own choice. Parents brought them to existence. Just a few days ago, a newborn baby was found in the garbage bin……. Baby = Rubbish? You = Rubbish? NO!!!
I’m not sure if the authorities have found who dumped the baby, but the baby surely did not deserve it. I’m just guessing….. This baby could be a case of unwanted pregnancy. A case of young people having unprotected sex? A case of two young ppl knowing less of the consequences to their actions? Hmm… I could be wrong…. Could it be a case of rape victim who didn’t know what to do with the beast’s child…..? or….. Could it be a case where the mom had too many children at hand? (I doubt)
Children are gifts from God, not accidents….. It is sad that some of them are treated tat way right from the start of their life. Young people…. Those who sleep around, you know what I’m talking about. Don’t say it’ll never happen to you. That’s naïve, that’s ignorance. Abstain from doing it now, have it all you want in your marriage. Men…. You who think women are sex objects, in subjection to your lust, you are a @#%$!!! I wish the government would go ahead with castration for those who are found guilty of rape. Have they ever wondered if it would result to a baby being born…. Oh wait! I forgot they are not human…. A case of mom having too many children at hand? I doubt they’d dump their babies…. Loving moms with many children just don’t do that……
Life is not just about you….. I thank God that the children found a home in the shelter. I believe that they are well taken care of, by people who loved them more than their biological parents. They may never know what it is like to be in a “normal” family. But they understand sharing, love, discipline, chores, tolerance, compassion. I believe this children would be of so much value, wherever they will be in future, and… they are definitely not rubbish!
