The Chronicles of the King of Rest

I am not interested to discuss how things have changed since DrM once ruled this land. I belong in the camp that firmly believes that nothing in this blessed nation changes without her consent.

Once if we had to content with the English ,it was only because we were lazy and needed others to think of progress on our behalf .
When we found that this cost us our identity ,we got ourselves organised and took our independence back .
When ambition came , we allowed Dr.Mahathir to reign.
And now,since we are soft, fat and sensitive to boot ,i suppose i can't be surprised why is it that Pak Lah rules .

Yup ,you heard me ...we deserve this man.
He represents our wish to quit the ascent and welcome that sweet sweet rest in decline.
Its not that we do not have anyone able ,its just that we have no use of persons of such composition..
What would we do with such a person anyway?
What could strength give when we ask ?
Surely it will only be harsh.
Prod us to move and not relax.
Not understanding our need to rest.
Ignore our wishes that its someone elses turn to continue what we had left .
Silent to our plea that for all that we have done , we deserve to sit back and enjoy what we have .
No no .The strong will surely not do .
The strong will be confused by what the weak can easily comprehend .
That there is a reason to why choose to halt even before the task is complete.
That there is a morality to this modesty and principal behind its retreat.

No no ... our able men will be found wanting.
He would only offend others by offering challanges from our land .
We seek no competition .
Those are the gifts of the strong to one another.
We who are weak seek only compassion and generousity from others.
And this is best reaped by showing the wound in our flesh and fruits in our hands ---then others would more readily understand --Afterall ,are they not reasonable men--Surely they will allow us our fee for the work already finished.
Yes yes. To them we must send our King of Rest ..
When he walks unarmed with a smile as wide the sun ,they can easily see that we come not to do harm.
He will melt their hearts and they will be generous with their alms.
Why he might not even be called to sit down to discuss terms with them.
His mere sight is all it takes for them to choke us with all the sympathy, acceptance, understanding that we so desperately need.
For all you know ,they might have many other things that us weak can learn to put to use .
Such is the the miracle that is our King of Rest.
Had we known how to to be proud, that is what we would have been of of him.
