Up on the hills and mountain tops in a land not too distant, there
lived a good man whose back bent double with age and toil due to labor
and emotional distress. At last, he grew very tired and hopeless of
life that he became very sick and was bed ridden. As he laid in bed,
he cried out in his heart and mind to the God of Death - "I cannot
bear this life any longer. I wish Death would come and take me away."
No longer than the last word of his dying wish was murmured, Death
appeared in a grisly skeleton and said to him: "What would you like me
to do, friend Mortal? I heard you call my name?"
"Please, Sir," the middle-age man replied. "Would you kindly help me
to lift my illness and hard labor from my shoulder? Now that I see
you, I do not want to die."
As human, we would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified. Most
men may wish for death but they still do not want to die. Tej zaum,
neeg tsis pom dej dag ces siab tsis nqig xwb. Tej nqe lus li nov,
txhiaj tau lawm mus ib seem, tiamsis yog yuav txhais kuj muaj li ob,
peb seem thiab. Txawm li ntawd los qhov tseeb, yog thaum ib tug tib
neeg muaj mob loj heev (incurable cancer) thiab seev ke tuag (suicidal
thoughts) vim ntawd noj ntawd haus tas lawm ces txawm leejtwg cheem
los yeej yuav tsis tau. Tabsis yog nws ntawd nyiaj keeb puaj txwm,
ntawd noj, ntawd haus tseem tshuav thiab yog nws kho siab es lam seev
xwb ces Tub Tuag raws nws mas nws tseem ntshai tshaj li ntshai dab.
Yog nws ntseeg kevcai dab-qhuas li Poj Hmoob rhawv kab, Yawm Hmoob
rhawv kev tseg, Shamanism, ces ntoj neeb (spiritual healing) nthuav
yaig (herbal healing) thov Siv Yig li hwjhuaj los kho me ntsis xwb
yeej yuav zoo. Yog ntseeg kevcai dabqhuas li Poj Mab rhawv tuaj, Yawm
Mab rhawv tawm, Bhuddism, Christianity, Muslim, Hindu, etc. ces mus
ntoj mus thuv kom Xibhwb pab ua plig rau.
