Bomoh? Not me! Never!
Finally after a while I think that my life is beginning to gain traction. I don't know which factor in my life that made it but it doesn't matter. As long as it enable me to get back on my feet. My third child is born. My wife is getting better. She is I don't know why but somehow seems a bit of, maybe because of the surgery. I don't know. I just wish her to get back to her healthy self soon.
Life is strange now a day some times. I used to never bother about the unseen creatures of Allah also know as the Jin and it's relative. But now, I felt as if I am not the sceptic scientist I use to be. Always demanding prove and empirical data to support certain believe. Now that the mystical had entered my realm of thinking it really clouded my scientisfic jugdement. That is the way I see it.
When it comes to the factors of sickness, the role of the jin is always in my consideration. Something that use to be the my last conclusion. When all conclusion had failed the last conclusion no matter how ridicule it is, it must be true. But now, it is my first conclusion when someone is sick! I caught myself last night when a friend of mine told me that his son is sick. I caught myself from saying, "Did you get strange dreams". Thank Allah, my manage to hold my tounge. See, this believes really clouded my thought train. I can't imagine anyone would listen to some one like me saying weird stuff like, I think it is your Saka that did this. I ca't accept it myself. I decided to keep this to myself, until I am sure that the reason behind it is really by the supernatural after thay when though the modern way.
On the other side, my friend that drag me into all this mystical thing, never bother to come to this conclusion when other people told her about anykind of sickness. How come?! Me the spectical scientist ran amok around the village telling people, this and that about the mystical things. Sish! Malu!I got to learn to control myself. maybe the first hand experience with the child of mine really turn my world upside down. It really changed my perspective entirely.
But then again, I still need to contain myself from coming to such conclusion as the first conclusion. I don't want to be some bomoh. No. I don't think so.
