Fair vs. Equal (Souam A Uuuum Malechub Ng Tekuu)

By Santy Asanuma —-

As a young boy my father used to wake me up on five o’clock every morning while all my other brothers and sisters are still deep and comfortable in their sleep especially when it is the coolest time. He would always ask me if I were angry each time. Of course, I always said no. And he would add, because if I were “e te kmal mo chebuul a rechad” (people would suffer). For the longest time I could not understand why my anger would be the cause of misfortune to other people.
