dear kerislovers,

Sometimes, we must think why empus obeyed customs and traditions. Though, when empus trespassed their customs and tradition, there was no punishments.

Then, when we found creations presumed made by empus, perhaps it was clear to us that most empus obeyed their customs and traditions. Any creation which seems too far from pakem, we must be very alert.

Perhaps, amongst empus there was a common conciousness, just after becoming a good followers, they had a small room to make inovation (just a smaal room, not the whole aspects). Because of this common consciousness, from generation to generation people paid respect to empus.

Nowadays, when factually empus are very poor, people still pay fully respect to them. However, some people believe that empus were extinct since 1942/45 (during the japanese invasion in south east asia). At least there is discontinuity before and after WWII.
