Mother You Have Lies For Your Own Ambititon

Affandi_my_motherMother Earth, Mother Jones, Mother Nature, Mother Of Innocent, Mother Country; all have with mother to do.

In most language expressing their country as Mother Country as well as indonessian Bahasa called it Ibu Pertiwi or Mother Pertiwi, I'm also not sure if Pertiwi have other meaning.
The interesting is german language, they are dominant with masculinity so they call it Vatterland = Father Country not Mutterland.
So why we have so melancholic/romantizing our country and associating with figure of Mother??
Some have argue that Motherhood is stock symbol of civilization, culture etc.. could only made/produced by female/mothers.
It was also true in some cases, the languange we have absorbs/addopted come mostly by interaction with our host/i.e Mother as she have nurturing us, so in most language they asked Mother Language which not always been the langguage we used to comunicating with other people out of our own fammily.

Why they argue that the stock of civilization, culture, etc.. could only made/produced by female or mothers.What about our position? I would saying we are man could propagiate/made-babies everywhere, anywhere, at anytimes, since our nature motto is "hit and run"; offcourse they could also do the same like man, but their nature consideration of 9 months waiting times for next hit and run.

About The Pics.
Affandi paint tittled My Mother, the eye look for nothings and it feels like she have thinks something hard that . Her lips saying nothings than the pesimistic and hard to saying.
To your info, Affandi is well know as abstract painter, but he have also begun his with nautralis/surealis.Latter he have faound his own famoust style of painting that seems like Dali sketching.
The Backgorund i've taken from Sudjojono, in which the titles i would rather not said; all of the masking people take apart in tradition ceremonial party its kinds of americans Mardigrass or germans Fastnacht.That was my small explanation of my compilating pics this weeks, probably you have understand that we have waiting for the Truths and we should have forgotten the other liar True Lies of Truths.We are just only Human with our limited knowledge so we could only to follow what our heart said.

It was the song from "Fliegende Hollaender - Flying Dutchmen" duo Karen & Alice in 1980.
I'm not sure if you still remember it, because it was probably fame only in Indonesia and Europe.
I'm also missing much my children songs from Heintje, Daniel Sahuleka, usw...
