Blame it to whom?
Every day in our lives as we walk in our way to the office, we think more on what are the things that we have to do, deadlines to be submitted, what we wanted to eat during lunch, little topic of the current news among officemates or an experience of our friends friend for the sake of discussion. When five o’clock strikes, we are in a hurry of going home for a dinner to be prepared, updates of how the day ended, watching the news on TV & other sequel that we don’t want to miss, up to the moment that we are tired & close our eyes for a long day. In short, these are the routines that we keep doing over the years. As the days went on and years gone by, we found ourselves asking which way we are leading, we feel bored about how we start & end our days, we get affected on everything that’s happening around us, CORRUPTION of almost all agencies in the government, instead of putting the budget wherein everybody will benefit, only greedy politicians who steal & stay rich despite the time of crisis. CRIMES & INJUSTICES anywhere due to war against power, wealth & poverty; occurrence of natural calamities because of abusing & destructing our mother nature; issues & immoralities involving the leaders in spiritual institution; our personal problems that may sometimes question our faith in HIM. These are the bad side of life & the reality that can pull us down if we will seriously put in our heads & try to find for solutions. But what do you think are the reasons why we are all experiencing it? What might be the effects if its intensity will get worst as time passes by? This questions are sometimes the reason why my thoughts are open as well as my eyes as I lay in my bed, why I always end up turning around the city after I forgot that I enter the wrong way to my planned destination & the reason why I feel so exhausted after a long day of a not so tiring sched. But do you care of knowing the root of it all? Will you find time to bother your hypothalamus finding for a possible solution? Others may say “the hell I care…” Evidently, I’m one of those who wanted to try figure it out. My ideas & opinions might not be acceptable to everybody but can be an opener to everyone who thinks that “WE MUST CARE”. Living in this world is not just a matter of surviving technically but we have to bear in mind that aside from ourselves we have a MORAL & SOCIAL obligations towards one another.
For me, it should start in the FAMILY. As the basic unit in the society, we all belong in a family. Basically, we did not just appear like a mushroom but we were being fertilized, developed & nurtured by our mother with love & protection. Each personality & identity of a child depends on their parents, for as an infant we were once like a sponge who eagerly absorb all the inputs being taught to us. All that surrounds us serve as a big influence on how we decide & drive our own lives. If our family inculcates a strong good moral & values we will be able to carry it as we expose ourselves in a greater responsibility. But parent’s teachings would not be enough. As we reached the legal age we tend to decide on our own, there are even times when we refused to listen because we believe in ourselves that we are old enough to weigh what is right or wrong. Parents that time will just guide & still accept & love us despite our failures. So then, that time those people around us contribute a big factor on our lifestyle, hobbies, attitude & decisions in life. Though, the last key will still be in our hands.
Do you believe that a child being raised with love, respect & abundance will turn out to be a killer? If he was sent to school & earn a degree, do you think he will steal in neighborhood? There are cases wherein despite the good nurturing and yet they happen to be a big time leader of a syndicate instead.
Why is it so?
As I observed with all the people around, somehow I can sum up some ideas. What our parents mold us to be are the traits that we usually value most or might be our basis & preference for comparison of any situation. But as we get matured those influences will slowly capture our being that sometimes we get unnoticed. It would be beneficial if it brought us positive effects & we might regret if it’s the other way around.
Until such time that that we will be a slave of materialism & worldly possessions. We tend to forget our good moral & values if financial & material wealth will be the center of our life. We based our happiness according to what we have & not what we become as a person. Then, whom shall we have to blame? Our parents who brought us in this world? Our government who has big part for the status of our economy & security? Or ourselves who’s responsible for all our actions? Think it now… Be a part to change our world, to make this place safe to live. All of us have a responsibility for what future could bring. Everyone could make a difference. Start now…
