"A Mother is the one who is still there when everyone else has deserted you"
-Author Anonymous
As a child of a Mother who was raised up properly with love and care generally believed that all mothers in the world is the same - that all of them would do their best just to give their children a better life and also a life. I thought that all of them would believe in their own children, who they carried for nine months, that they are worth having, worth living and are deserving to live their lives. I thought that all mothers would treasure their children as they are sent by God. But, I was wrong. I am wrong because I did not consider the other mothers' culture, government, churches and state of life.
It is sad to know that mothers indifferent infant deaths as others do. But what could they do? It seems like they were just victims of an unhealthy government and churches which did nothing but abuse the people's lack of education and knowledge.
It was a lost opportunity for those mothers who did not love their children as they were blinded by the idea that infants are whether survivors or not which I think wrong because mothers should love their children no matter how strong, weak , white, black, their children are. All children deserve to be love as what the movie "Every Child is Special" tells that we should love every child no matter how normal he or she is.
It is sad that the church did not do its responsibilities to think that churches are the one who are easy to approach as they are known as people's hope. From the text I have read, I can say that churches nowadays should have learned their lessons and they should do what they did not do in the past. The priests should not made any beliefs that lead the Mothers face deaths without showing any emotions as they were thinking of beliefs that were not true at all.
And to the Government and Offices, they must not indifferent infants deaths because they were given power for them to use it for their nation's people. They should be strict and value each child when it comes to life and death. To make is simple, the Government MUST prevent and solve the major crisis than just resolving the floating interest or effects of that major crisis as what the mayor did. He was just giving vouchers for free coffins instead of preventing infant deaths.
And to the Doctors, they should have told the patient's mother what the real situation was. And they should give the proper treatment to the children they checked. They should not abused the lack of knowledge and education of those mothers because they were educated in order for them to inform and educate the educated and uneducated mothers when it comes to health concerns.
All mothers are the same but they are all in a different situations. All of them will be affected in what changes may occur in their lives. All of us should be careful of what we do as we affect each other's companies.
Mothers are mothers. We should not take their motherhood from them. Let them love their children no matter what state of life they are currently in. Let us not fill their minds beliefs that is not true but the idea of believing that their child is worth it, worth having and worth living.
BUT, let us not forget our missions and responsibilities to all the mothers out there because mothers also deserve to be loved and cared. It is not easy for mothers to carry a child for nine months and deliver so let us pay back to their sacrifices with gratitude because if they did not exist, there will never be an "us".
