Love your mother

By Ali Karbassi | August 4th, 2007 | Life, Note to Self

I was on the road with my father and grandfather. Both of them are always there to give me amazing advice about life. Please forgive me if the translation doesn’t flow perfectly in English being that it’s my rendition of what it means. Also note that it’s a proverb, it might not make perfect sense, but there is a moral.

“There was a young man who falls in love with a young beautiful woman. He asks her to marry him but she says no. She says that the only way she will marry him is if he kills his mother then brings her his mother’s still warm liver. The stupid man does so. While walking to show the woman the liver, he trips on a rock. Suddenly he hears his mother’s voice from the liver he was holding; ‘Oh, my baby.’”

Moral of the story; We will never understand how much our mother’s love us.
