How could a child follow the instructions of his mother when he doesn’t understand the point of doing so? Why should he avoid drinking that liquid that they use for cleaning their body, it smelled good? Or why should he not try to drive a car, father seems to do it easy enough? Their childish questions go on and on and yet we could call the child wise if the obeys. Why do they obey? Faith. Faith in what? Faith that their elderly know better than they do.
The epic of Labaw Dunggon reminds me of such. Why does he spend so much time and energy to fight off the creatures that doesn’t even belong to his tribe and land? For the rumored beautiful woman? Maybe, but there could be. Maybe, just maybe, he fought for the sake of them, so that peace may return to their land. That others may enjoy better life. It was act of great worth and value that even led him to be a pig, yet he showed no sign of regrets.
“Greater love no one than this, than he lay down his life for his friend.” (John 15:13)
