This World is Everyone's

Workers of my in-laws found 6 pcs. of eggs about less half size of chicken eggs at the backyard where they will construct a garage this morning. Guessed those are snake eggs and to be sure they raptured one and out came a little python about 14 to 16 inches long and expanded to about 3/4 inch diameter when exposed to air.

We deliberated on what to do with the remaining eggs.

 - I told the worker to crush the remaining eggs but he was afraid to do so, for fear of the   

   mother python to go after him…

-   my husband refused to my insistence, said that we should not harm the eggs and             
    alter their condition, for nature’s balance sake

-  my husband took the eggs and brought them to a place where nature will take charge of      them…

The nervous me is fighting with my hubbydoo...

I remember our son's message to him at the church on our celebration of last Fathers' Day. Our son said our family don't fight with each other, though we often argue on many matters it's only arguing, and we are a happy family loving one another. He did not elaborate much, he’s a man of few words like his father. Our brethren may not have fully understood his message but we family knew what he meant.   

Our children when they became grown-ups also set rules in the family that we parents should also observe and respect. 

And what are those?

1)    Don't mess science and philosophy with religion.  

We parents should not be angry if we can’t bring them often to church just like when they were kids. My children have strong faith in God, in the Universal God not bounded by religion. Two of them may have renounced religion, but not their faith in the One True God. 

2)    Respect each other's stand on politics. We may have different views on politics. 

Politics divide people, but we should not allow it to do it to our family. 

3)    Gender Preferences  - just as there should be no 3Ls (Last, Least and Lost) in the  

academe where I work, and with their father’s ecological regard even to a tiny ant, we should apply the same regard and respect to all people of all walks of life.

We may have to argue on many issues, but as set by our family we practice regard to all people, animals, plants and all. After all, we are not the only creature of God, we do not own the world, we are only a little part of this world.

Going back to the python eggs, my husband took charge of them. Where he brought them may they find their own peace and sanctuary, and may they not find any need to look for abode in our domestic territory.  When they do, that's another story. People are also bound to protect their abode and family, against all odds...
