What Sickened Me … Now Listen Carefully …

is the fact that one humiliates those with a lesser “degree”

A REPUBLIC OF VIRTUE

Dr Azly Rahman

is the fact that one humiliates those with a lesser “degree”
that arrogance without substance is the key 
this fact sickened me 
when one does not know the difference between humility and stupidity
there is a malay advice to follow “resmi padi“
translated as to follow the wisdom of the padi
the more you know the more you gained wisdom through humility
but how could that lady be so blind yet graced with arrogance and stupidity
when one’s learning is not one’s monopoly but to be shared with the less fortunate in society, 
and not to use it as a tool to knock one’s head with utmost idiocy
one owes one’s learning: 
to Society 
     that taught one to be a agent of change in an otherwise capitalist society
to Nature 
     that taught us to go back to the Origin of Things we borrow from and turn them into Capital and Technology
O’ lady how misguided you are in not seeing that all you have is only temporary
that has to be given back to those you borrow from to make you a person of a “higher degree”
i wish you well though 
and less angry 
in your way to be a better educator who will teach others with more humility
for all that ever exists between us and those “degrees” 
we mistake as intellectual profundity, 
is that of nothingness … 
to be given back to Humanity
as we act 
as the malays say
like the padi
” ikut resmi padi
makin tunduk apabila makin berisi ..”
bless us all 
in peace and harmony …. — ar
