These were the times where my children entered
secondary school and there after began their collage life. I got burned out and
there I look for premature retirement. I thought of doing some gardening while
my wife tried the tailoring business. I got called out by a logging company,
with a very ambitious ‘taukey’.
At the end of the day the ‘taukey’ and his
brothers get richer and become millionaires while I got broke and had to sell
my house to prolong the reminder part of my life. It was a miscalculation on my
part and almost fatal to my family. In searched of adventure, I got lost and
see little of my growing up children. There was no balance and less
consideration.
Now it begins again now and then, I guess this
feature is part of my life. We used to study history so as to study past events
and understood them. Then we could try to avoid from making similar mistakes.
But we have little control of our life.
Working on timbers as the common saying goes,
“has its price”. Some paid with their lives. It is like being cursed. My late
‘taukey’ eldest brother as the story said lost his life while logging in
Tinkayu, and my late boss lost his too while chasing his dream for a bigger
timber area and he passed away due to heart problems. With luck one got fast
money but at the end of the day may lost all, like leaves of trees, falling
when they aged or due to changing weather.
“Whatever, easy come, easy
goes”, as people used to say. Nothing is easy any way, and life must go on, and
we make whatever changes necessary.
