Counting our blessings. Devil's advocate series no 16.
1. You know, many of us suffer from the impatience of an eager beaver.
2. We feel frustrated, agitated and want all the wrongs accumulated during the times of Mahathir to mahiadin and the forgettable Ismail sabri to be corrected instantly by Anwar, right now.
3. That's nigh impossible. Rome wasn't built in 1 day.
4. Or to use a more earthy example, a friend used to tell me, even taking a piss takes time.
5. For the man, you've you got to unfly the zip, take your bird of the underpants, points the bird correctly at the urinals and bombs away.
6. Hence you insist that Anwar correct the excesses and the wrongs over 70 years in 3 years?
7. Tablay, mana boleh itu maciam, tamby, mapillay dei!
8. Sometimes, I too am caught in the surge and onrush of the tidal wave of impatience. Everything now.
9. Because of our own political awareness and consciousness, the opinions shaped by just reached puberty FB and TikTok operators, out of eagerness and frustration - we go nitpicking on brother Anwar aka pak sheikh.
10. We don't like the way he walks, the way he talks, everything about him , the way he takes to the phone, his showy and braggodacios personality and so on.
11. I for instance, dislike his walk which is like the trot of an energetic dog. For the simple reason, I can never walk as fast as him .
12. So we want to have the whole pot reduced to a cup about him.
13. Hence many quarters spread the false stories that a GE will be called soon. Maybe by end year.
14. Don't get bamboozled by these people. They are probably those who think they can win. UMNO, PN and others.
15. The longer the GE is, a lot more of their hypocrisy will be exposed.
16. A friend WA me to say, when is there a time when governance has no problems?
17. That homely remark gave me a jolt
18. At least we are not like America, we have our welfare system. At least we still have government hospitals.
19. If we are like America or even like nearer home as Indonesia , the scruffy pas people wearing kopiah will be howling having to pay a leg to enter hospitals.
20. Even then, they will be complaining the nurses wear skirts and tight pants.
21. Most of us, having benefited from experiencing 70 years of excesses and wrongs demand Anwar to do the impossible -correct them in 3 years.
22. Many of us , mocked and dismissed him , when he urged people to bersyukur and count our blessings simply because we dislike many things about him.
23. These wrongs need time to be righted. Sabar itu subur, tak sabar masuk kubur.
24. I think this should be the reasoning behind asking Anwar be given another term. Not the one liners and didactic sloganeering on FB.
25. Don't make our impatience make him a one hit sensation.
26. Or in a more understood now language, let not our ' premature ejaculation ' destroy him.
