Explain the unexplainable
My battery is recharged! I'm over and done with the last guard duty at the current unit, well, for a moment only. Performing guard duty is the only time when I can let my brain roam extensively, stare at the gate blankly and needless to seek permission to day-dream. While I was performing my 3rd shift yesterday, my mind wondered to some unexplainable stuff again...
Did your parents ever warn or tell you not to meddle with Praying Mantis and Moth? For it might be our ancestors? Sometimes you will just feel like laughing your lungs out for this simple reason. And for those who often seek scientific explainations, they would just tumble on the ground, giving out a loud burst. I would like to relate this 2 incidents to you, 1 was an up-close and personal experience, the other was told by, non other than mum.
My granny passed away in 94. I was still in Primary 3 back then. This scene still lingers and remain vivid in my mind now - Almost like fresh. We cousins slept at the void deck on the last day of the wake. That morning, we woke up at 7a.m sighting a moth at my gran's coffin. Everyone started saying it was my grandpa, whom passed away 20 years ago. While performing the final ritual before moving off, there came another moth, this time round, they believed it was my grandma. Shortly after the ritual ended, both moth flew away, together. That scene somehow touches my heart. It was like my grandpa bringing my granny away and love can be felt.
Here's to relate you another incident. About 2 years back, my uncle passed away from liver failure. My aunt was left with 3 children. Fortunately, my cousins are all grown up, the youngest among the 3 siblings is already 16 this year. Last november, her elder sister finally settled down and got married. That night before my cousin's wedding ceremony, my aunty saw a moth in her room. My mum and her sisters believed that it was my uncle who's back to see her daughter tieing knots. In fact, everynow and then, during festive season, the moth would come and go. Its almost like housevisiting.
I do believe in this unexplainable tales and stories. I'm not that kind of person who seek for an answers based on facts. Afterall, there are still some things which human can't explain yet forcefully throw in their assumptions just to make things right. What about you? Do you believe in them?
