Ua ho'āhewaʻia nā uniona kūponoʻole, akāʻo nā kānaka o kēia wā e hoʻohuli nei i ka "paakiki" i ka manaʻo o ka lehulehu, e hōʻoia ana ma o lākou hōʻoia heʻano nuiʻole keʻano i ka makahiki ke aloha nā kānaka.
ʻO kahi kūlana o ka lāhui a me ka nui o nā hemo hemoʻana e hōʻike anaʻaʻoleʻike ka kāne a me ka wahine i ka hanaʻana i ka pilina. Inā uaʻike lāua i kekahi i kekahi a ua ola like pū lāua, a lailaʻole paha nā mea iʻoi aʻe, hoʻokahi wale nō hauʻoli e pili ana iā lāua. I kekahi hihia, e like ka nui o ka male me ka makemakeʻole.
Loaʻa nā'ōpio i ka makemake i ka wā o nā wāhine iʻoi aʻe ma mua o nā kāne i loko o ka pilina, aʻaʻole lākou e launa. He mea pilikia paha ka mea i hanaʻia ma kona wā'ōpiopio. Uaʻike nā kānaka a pau i ka puka ma hope o nā keiki ma mua o nā kaikamāhine. ʻAʻole pono nā kaikamāhine i ka pilina o ke keiki me ka ho'āʻo e koho i kekahi hoaʻoi aku ma mua o ko lākou. I ka nānāʻoleʻia e ka poʻe o kēia au hou, eʻimi ana kēlā keiki i ka hōʻoluʻolu me kahi wahine makua.
ʻO ka ho'āʻo nuiʻole o ka hele muaʻana i ka pilina me ka mea i kēia manawa,ʻo ia ka hopena ikaika i ka manaʻo pono'ī. ʻAʻole hiki i kāna kaikamahine ponoʻole ke hana wale aku, akāʻo nā hua'ōlelo "hōʻino" i kona hoa. Ma hope o kēlāʻano, e nānā ana kekahi'ōpio i kahi hoaʻike, mālama, a hoʻomaopopo mālamalama a hiki i kahi pilina me kahi wahine iʻoi aku ma mua o kona mau makahiki. Mālama ka makuahine i ka wahine e hoʻomaopopo i keʻano o kēia'ōpiopio a kōkua iā ia e wehe i kahi kāne i loko ona. ʻO nā kāne i ka pilina me ia mau wāhine e like me nā hero maoli, a ma kēiaʻano,ʻaʻohe mea nui o ka makahiki,ʻaʻole iʻikeʻia. ʻO nā hui likeʻole e lanakila i loko o ka pilina pili lua. Loaʻa i kahi kanaka ka hoʻopiʻi piha, mālama, aloha,ʻikeʻo ia i ka mea e makemake ai ka wahine. ʻO kekahi wahine i kēlā mau mea akamai e alakaʻi i ke kanaka, eʻae iā ia e kū i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe a e pili kokoke iā ia he kanaka maoli. Inā heʻelemakule kekahi wahine, a laila, ma muli o ke kanaka'ōpiopio, e ho'āʻoʻo ia e maikaʻi keʻano, he mea maikaʻi ia nona. Loaʻa kahi pilina paʻa loa ma waena o nā kānaka.
Ua haʻalele ka lāpili i kona hopena ma ka hui kāne kāne. Ua haoʻia nā kāne, akā no ke aha? Ma muli o ko mākou mau wāhine, no ka nele o nā kāne i ko lākou mau lā, ke aloha nei mākou a ke aloha iā lākou, me kaʻikeʻole e hanaʻino ana mākou iā mākou iho.
ʻO ka wahine, ke kū nei i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe i ka pilina me ke kāne, e hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo o "kanaka" ma hope, waiho i nā mea a pau ma luna o kona poʻohiwi a me kona kino pono'ī, me kaʻikeʻoleʻana i kēia, ua nalewaleʻo ia e like me ka wahine. ʻO ke kanaka, i ka mālamaʻana i ka mālama nuiʻana o ka makuahine, ke akamai "e noho i kona'ā'ī" a hoʻoponopono i kāna hanaʻanaʻaʻohe mea e holomua.
ʻO kahi wahine akamai wale nō ka mea e hiki ai ke kūkulu i kahi pilina me kekahi kanaka'ōpio i mea e kūʻole ai ka hopena o ka makahiki ma muli o kona manaʻo pono'ī, ae kōkua iā ia e lilo i kanaka maoli.
E hōʻohewa ka lehulehu i ka launaʻoleʻana, akā he aha ka mea e pono ai inā e hauʻoli nā poʻeʻelua. Uaʻikeʻia kekahi wahine ma ke kaiāulu ma keʻano he pani o kaʻohana. ʻO nā loiloi hou e hiki ai i ka wahine ke hānau i kahi pēpē maikaʻi ma kahi kokoke i nā makahiki. ʻO ke kanaka'ōpiopio,ʻo ia he hoa hanaʻoi aku kaʻoihana, e kōkua wale i ka huahua i nā hua ola. Ma ka pilina ma waena o ke kāne a me ka wahine,ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea kahiko, pono e hoʻomanaʻo mau ka wahineʻo ia,ʻo ka mea mua, he wahine e pono e hauʻoli!
