The new worse-than-death fate
I am doing myself one moment of profoundness. I never want to talk about the political situation in the Philippines in the cybercafe because I have stopped believing in the power of words a long long time ago... (and after being inspired by my exposure to post-secret, I will throw tact out of the window once again)Have you ever been in a situation that your hand was caught while holding the frame of a closing door? The difference of this from the usual accident is that the door was closed with a really strong force. The force was so strong that it broke every bone in your hand, left a big break in your palm, heavily bleeding. Then you were scheduled to have surgery to have the nerves in your hand treated and a lot of bandages. Then after months of waiting for the wound to heal, your hand undergoes rehabilitation. Then finally, your hand heals completely.
The next time you see that familiar door that you used to comfortably place your hand on to lean on, you hesitate as to whether you want to ever try holding on to that door no matter how many times the person who closed the door (by accident or not) promised never to do it again.
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO EDUCATED PEOPLE'S HOPE FOR THE PHILIPPINES
Smashed beyond full-recovery, scarred for life, and forever with a doubt of things ever being the same...
I have nothing but false hopes and wishes for the future of this country as long as those who wield power in the Philippines are not doing their part. If there are people deserving of good things in this country - it's those who labor hard. Those who create value, those who do their share in building a nation's economy. Yes, it's you, who gets to surf and read this post - you know you have money you earn from working. You are doing our nation a great service and I salute you. You, the member of the workforce, the businessman, the saleslady, the call-center agent, the engineer, the doctor, the designer - you do not need to do anything extraordinary. You have already paid your dues in full by paying taxes. There is nothing more for you to do than cuss at the quality of public service we're getting.
And I salute you, the student, who is aspiring to land a good job or run a business here. May your burning enthusiasm light the fire of perseverance in us all and give us consolation in our tired and trying times. May your being the son or daugher of a rich family not blind you from seeing the responsibility that comes with your blessings. And those born of the low and middle class, I spare a thought for you - you are perhaps the only future hope of our country.
Ok, that didn't sound much like me - it's like some sort of prayer, bwahaha
But that felt good - getting to take all that shit out of my head. I am too busy for worthless things like Philippine politics. Maybe when I see something really happening (which is like.. 2000 years from now, I'll be very dead by then).
Peace out
