Kyunic - Some short stories

A piece of the belly's longing for a degree

Because materials are scarce, money is scarce.

I don't want to be human anymore.

Surrealism

In modern painting

I just want to hide..

When I am bored and thinking, I often recite a poem by our modern poet “Satthani” that I read in Shumawa magazine about 30 years ago. In fact, the poet is also a painter, and after sensing a vast void, without boundaries, that some Surrealist painters imagine, I thought that maybe he composed the above poem as a song because he could not find anything after searching for things and money. About 30 years ago, things and money were abundant, just like now. All you need to do is find friends. (Poets and artists, however, have low IQs in making money, and I often hear them complaining about their lack of money.)

I never thought that money was scarce, nor that things were scarce. I had no money, only that things were scarce. Some people like to moan like pigeons, saying, “Things are so expensive.” The truth is, it’s not that they’re expensive, it’s that they don’t have enough money, and they can’t keep up with the price of things. When a friend of mine called out, “Goat meat is scarce,” I took him by the hand to a farm just a few steps away from my house and said, “Look, my friend, where is the goat meat scarce?” In that large, well-built yard, there were many fat, well-fed goats and sheep in many safe, sheltered cages.

In our world, where the earth remains as it is and people are growing by the second, the most abundant things are not diamonds, gold, silver, rubies. It is not electronic devices that we use. As the saying goes, “Knowledge is a pot of gold, no one steals it”... Nor are books that contain knowledge. Although the body is protected by nutrition, according to the Dharma, shouldn’t the food that constantly supports and surrounds our physical bodies, which are made of matter, be the most abundant, abundant, and abundant in this world? Isn’t this the most important and most important factor for such abundance? ... We are fortunate to have been born in a part of the earth where food and water are abundant. We have vast “granaries” covering many miles. Our countless rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds once harbored billions of shrimp, crabs, fish, turtles, and crabs. Our vast forests and mountains also provide us with a variety of crops, from fruits and vegetables to honey, bee pollen, deer, gazelles, deer, ibex, deer, elk, and elk. If you are not picky about food, you can eat not only snakes, frogs, and toads, but also cow dung beetles, and black and white ants from the city. We also have countless varieties of delicious dishes, cooked in different ways. Delta cuisine, We eat a variety of foods, such as local dishes, mountain dishes, and seafood dishes, and we are satisfied with the food we eat. The sayings like “bathing in oil, burning with incense sticks, and looking like a mountain of rice” refer to our nutritional wealth. Poets and writers have written about the abundance of food even in the lower classes since ancient times. (If you want to know more, please read the poems of the Minister of the Interior and the poems of the Grand Master.)

Nowadays, we are allowed to eat not only our own food, our own traditional food, but also foreign food. We are not only enjoying international tea and coffee, but also international bread, cakes, pastries, cookies, and donuts. For breakfast, we no longer use sticky rice and fried pumpkin as before, but we eat “super coffee milk” and “wan(na)da” bread in a European style breakfast style.

My friend Kobuyo said, "Come on, "Let's go and have a cup of super kueh kaok at Xay Se Link." He invited me. At first, I didn't understand. I didn't know what "kueh kaok" or "twe kaok" meant. Then... "kueh kaok" was a Burmese restaurant called Excellent, and 'twe kaok' was an English wheat flour tea similar to the Burmese bread pudding called Qulcer Gats. "Thank you, I've been eating fried rice and dried fish at home and drinking black tea, so I'm feeling full. I politely declined, saying I'll come later. "Kue kaok is the wheat porridge we get for free at school once a week since we were elementary school students," he said, not telling his friend "Ko Bu Yo." Then, after To Bu Yo left, I, who was hungry, walked slowly to "Oh Kae Bain Moe" at the top of the road to Daw Buma's shop.

I don't dislike Western food. If I like it and get addicted to it, I'm afraid that a "bitch" like me will find it difficult to eat and drink, and I'll end up in a dead end. I'm "despising" Western food as much as I can. In other words, I appreciate and respect all food. The "little fried rice" on the street also calls the big black man named Ksina "my friend." "Dorin Fernandez" (6) (Drect Ternandez), a world-renowned food historian and food critic in the Philippines, who has written seven books on food, said, "Food is always history. Moreover, food is a part of its culture, traditions, and customs. "It is also a manifestation of human uniqueness." The same teacher said in an interview with the New York Times last year that Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has a court cuisine. Teacher Fernandez is very wrong. Didn't King Narathiwat of Bagan, who ruled with three hundred bowls of food, rule the country?
