Actions speak louder than words. And when the action is family-related fraud, it pretty much screams through a megaphone set to “boxing announcer loud” setting. No amount of linguistic gymnastics can silence the sound of greed clanging around in the background like loose change in a dryer.
Take this story of a dad cut out of his family’s land division on the lame excuse that he’s too old and hard to communicate with. A rhetorical play on how they couldn’t be bothered to step outside their WhatsApp bubble to pick up the phone. While the family speaks the language of convenience, their actions are screaming scam loud enough to shake the land itself.
Family fraud is like a Freudian slip, except instead of accidentally revealing subconscious thoughts, you accidentally reveal subconscious greed. Oh, cutting Dad out of the land division? Total accident, it just slipped our minds!

Siblings are never equal. Despite every parent’s best effort (or their worst effort) to keep things fair, no two kids will ever be exactly alike or have the same needs. Take it from me, a self-reliant independent child whose sibling was very needy. Did I ever get much help from Mom and Dad? Certainly not, because I didn’t need it as much.
However, being an independent child comes at a cost. Without your parent’s watchful eye and guiding hand, you’re left to do everything solo, fending for yourself as you become an adult, slowly resenting your seemingly childish sibling for all the aid they’re privy to. Naturally, with unequal resources, siblings can feel a wedge driven between them, growing into their adolescence and finally adulthood with a chip on their shoulder against the other, imagining how much easier the other has it.
