"Sunning Life"? It is my English verbatim translation of the Cantonese term "Sai Mang", and means bragging, immodest, un-shy... It's an artform perfected by constant gloating over of one's achievements, possessions or successes.
Have we met Life Sunners? Have I been a Life Sunner? This question has been playing in my mind since my sister and I were in conversation in reference to a case. I am intrigued...
Yes, though we may be happy to hear of the successes, yet we may be put off by the repetitive immodest way it is delivered. Should we persecute them? Crucify them? Love them? Join them? Like Garfield says "Life is a beach"...
Be it as it may, let's remind ourselves to always be sensitive and kind to others around us.
Sai Mang tip: Get more SUNSHINE!
