Chit Oo Nyo - Words that are not in history but are still historical

The roles of human beings who have played various roles on the world stage are very interesting. The roles of these human beings are very interesting. Among the three fates of these people, there are those that are worth considering, learning from, encouraging, and admiring, as well as those that are worth criticizing, avoiding, and detesting. If you take it, history, whether as a subject or as an education, is only beneficial for those who take it.

The writings and sayings of famous people throughout history, whether for good or bad, are also interesting. Through these writings and sayings, we can see the person in question and their time, their environment, and their background. The writings and sayings they wrote are like a window into their world, along with their mentality, morals, and existence.

"Kyee... I want to eat it if I get boiled beans and noodles."

A letter (a sentence) that everyone knows. A letter, a sentence by General Aung San. The general's honesty, lack of pretense, and the pure nature that emerged from the pressure of serious national responsibilities... If you think about it in a series, it is a letter (sentence) that can be developed into many things.

"Ah...Brutus, you too."

We all know these words of Julius Caesar. As he lay in a pool of blood, groaning in surprise, resentment, and disbelief, amidst the swords piercing his stomach, Caesar's last words are a reminder of the complexities of autocracy, the relationship between leaders and followers, betrayal, the secret plans of those closest to him, and a lesson to be learned...

"If there is no bread, let them eat cake."

This is also a statement that came out just before the outbreak of the French Revolution in the 18th century. It was the statement of Marie Antoinette, the queen of Louis XVI. The empress spoke indifferently about the plight of the starving Parisians. She thought that cake could replace the lack of bread for the queen. It shows the huge gap in class consciousness between the rich and the poor. This statement of the queen may have been one of the reasons why the Bastille prison was forced to break open the iron gate.

This article, titled “Sentences that are not in history but are historical,” aims to summarize similar statements as much as possible. I will also try to explain the background and consequences of the statements. Just as there have been such “historical” statements in world history, there have also been statements in Myanmar’s centuries-long history that are historical. The people who said these statements were of various personalities and characters. The thoughts and feelings that these statements will bring can vary depending on our ability to absorb them. In any case, if we learn to understand history, it can only help us to understand the difference between right and wrong.

Isn't it important for us not to be prisoners of the past, to be good parents of the future, and to be good children of the present?

Wait, wait, wait.

(Narathihapatay)

A famous saying of King Narathihapat, who was known in the history of Bagan. King Narathihapat, also known as King Ngaw Ngaw, was a very eventful king in the history of Bagan. He was said to be full of characteristics such as being angry, greedy, lacking in intelligence, and making rash decisions. There were many extraordinary (so to speak) events during his reign. The queen mother was always close to the king.

“Saw Long, wait and see.” This is how this saying came about. In the summer, Narathiwat, who always played with water, built a long, covered pavilion from the palace to the riverbank. He also had a pavilion built at the riverbank for water play. He was accompanied by a full complement of concubines. During this game, Queen Saw Long was ordered to “splash water on her eyes, face, and hair until it was all wet.” Saw Long was a young queen who was very fond of Narathiwat. She was very affectionate, so she was a bit rough and rough. In the middle of the concubines, Saw Long was drowned and collapsed in the water and was embarrassed. Narathiwat laughed at this and everyone laughed along.

Saw Long, who was young and handsome, was humiliated at the water festival, and he was angry with the king and poisoned the food. When this incident came to light, the king questioned Saw Long. Saw Long replied, “Hey... my beautiful daughter, I raised you and you treated me well, but you are so beautiful that you have to put your mouth in your mouth and make your clothes dirty, so I will kill you.”

"The word 'Panputhu Mya' is a word that is used to refer to the lineage of Narathiwat and to describe the young and old. The king cannot bear this word. Moreover, the assassination by poison is the ultimate crime...

He called in the blacksmiths and ordered them to make a metal plate and “make it into a furnace and cast it.” Queen Saw Long said that she had taken a vow for seven days and observed the precepts for seven days before she could perform the metal plate. After dying in the fire three times because of her virtue, she vowed that she would be burned and destroyed in an instant, and she died.

After King Narathihapat killed Saw Long, he would call him to the throne in a loud voice. Was it Saw Long who was always hugged and cuddled at the entrance to his bed? So the king began to lament as soon as he went to bed. “Saw Long... wait for me, Saw Long... wait for me.”

Saw Long was sentenced to death, but Queen Saw warned him that he had made a mistake, and he was heartbroken and could not sleep. The Maha Thera Sayadaw said that he was relieved of his pain and said, "In the future, if I am to be punished, I will wait a month and a half and ten days, and then I will question everyone, and then I will sentence those who deserve to be sentenced, and I will release those who deserve to be released."

Dear friend.... We have strong emotions, and when we think that something has hurt us, we experience violent outbursts. Among the reasons behind this outburst is that the culprit is "himself" and "he is innocent".
