A ʻoiai ʻaʻole wau makemake e ʻike ʻole i ka mahalo, pehea inā he honua kā mākou i koi ʻole iā mākou e lilo i superhero e ola wale ai?

Akā naʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā mea a pau. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī i nā wahine ke komo i ka mālama olakino e pono ai lākou a hoʻoholo i ko lākou kino ponoʻī. Hiki ke ʻokoʻa ka uhi mālama ola kino ma muli o ka mea nāna kāu haku hana a i ʻole ka mokuʻāina āu e noho nei. He mea maʻalahi i kekahi ke haʻi aku e pili ana i ka mālama ponoʻī ʻana inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa e palaki ai i kou mau niho i kekahi mau lā, ʻaʻole e loaʻa ka manawa e hele ai. i ka lāʻau lapaʻau (akā pono ʻoe, he mea kupanaha ka therapy!). A ma ʻaneʻi, manaʻo wau he paʻakikī no ka ʻohana me ʻelua mau mākua hana, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻohālikelike i ka mea a nā mākua hoʻokahi e hoʻokō nei. ʻO ka ikehu noʻonoʻo a ka makua e hoʻopau ai i kēia mau lā he luhi.

A haʻohaʻo mākou no ke aha e emi ana ka maikaʻi o kēlā me kēia kanaka. Noho mākou i kahi kūlana mau o ka papa inoa hana ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka helu o nā hola i ka lā, inā ma ka hana a ma ka home paha. No ka hoʻololi hou ʻana i kekahi o kaʻu mau sitcoms punahele (“The Good Place”), ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a paʻakikī ke lilo i kanaka. Ke paʻakikī nei ka lilo ʻana i makua. Ke paʻakikī nei ka hana ʻana i kahi honua i hana ʻole ʻia no mākou e hana ai.

Inā ʻoe e hakakā nei, ʻaʻole ʻoe hoʻokahi.

Ma kekahi mau ʻano, pili mākou ma mua o ka wā. Mahalo wau i ko mākou noho ʻana i kahi manawa e hiki ai i kaʻu mau keiki ke FaceTime me ko lākou mau kupuna wahine e hauʻoli iā lākou i ka lā makuahine ʻoiai lākou i ka hapalua o ka ʻāina. Akā aia nā hōʻike e kau ana ʻoi aku ka noho kaʻawale a me ka mehameha o nā kānaka ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Me he mea lā ʻo mākou wale nō ka mea i ʻike ʻole i nā mea a pau.

Pono mākou e hoʻonoho i nā palena a puni ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hana a hiki ʻole ke hana. Pono mākou e ʻōlelo ʻole i kekahi o ka ʻohi kālā a i ʻole ka palena ma hope o nā hana kula. ʻAʻole pono nā pāʻina lā hānau he hanana kūpono i ka pāpaho.

Ua ʻike au ʻo koʻu manawa kekahi o kaʻu waiwai nui loa. Hoʻopaʻa au i ka manawa ma kaʻu kalena hana no ka wā e lawe ai au i nā keiki i ke kula a hōʻole i nā hālāwai e kūʻē i kēlā. ʻIke au i lawa ka manawa o ka lā e hoʻopau ai i kaʻu hana i ʻole au e hana i ke ahiahi. Ke kamaʻilio nui nei au i kaʻu mau keiki e pili ana i kaʻu hana, no laila maopopo iā lākou ke kumu hiki ʻole iaʻu ke hele i kēlā me kēia hanana i ke awakea ma ke kula. Ke waiho nei kaʻu mau keiki i kā lākou holoi lole ponoʻī mai ko lākou wā i ke kula kamaliʻi a ke aʻo nei lākou e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kā lākou lumi ʻauʻau ponoʻī. Hoʻomau mau wau i ka mea nui loa a waiho mau i nā mea i ʻoki ʻole ʻia, ma ka home a ma ka hana paha.

E hoʻonoho i nā palena a mālama i kou pono ponoʻī e like me ka hiki. Mai makaʻu i ke noi ʻana i ke kōkua – mai kahi hoaaloha, lālā ʻohana, hoa pili, kāu kauka, a i ʻole kekahi ʻoihana olakino noʻonoʻo. ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi ke hana wale.

A kōkua i ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻōnaehana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi i ʻole e hakakā kā mākou poʻe keiki e like me mākou.
