the soul that is the clash of the titans

"... there will come a time when someone will stand up and will say - 'Enough!'"

I truly believe that that time is just around the corner. But I am hoping that the anger will be expressed in an innovative way and not the usual rebellion id. I am so tired with that path. Promises made at those throat shaterring speeches never quite translate to reality. More so those political ad campaigns that's already costing the "party" billions and still counting :)

"... there will come a time when someone will stand up and will say - 'Enough!'"

And I think this someone will not be one but a hoard. Those who sit at the Upuan will not see them coming. These hoard will act and behave like the most dangerous liver cancer cells. It will only be diagnosed when it is already too late. The whole current system will already be in its last stages and is already transforming to this new life :)

I scanned our local TV channels and its cable productions. It all smells the same. Conceptualized and produced by those who has a stake in maintaining the status quo. A status quo that has seen the middle class disappear in number, the low-level income Filipinos get larger, OFW numbers climbing while the GDP numbers keeps increasing. The usual suspects for our lot, the Filipino population reaching 100 million this year :)

How do we get over confusion? Pain? Suffering? Do we get over them when we have clarity? When we are healthy? When we are happy?

NO! We get over confusion when we are confused. Rise above pain and suffering when are in pain and sufferring.

These present times. These worst of times are the best of times. (To paraphrase Dickens seminal line.) For it is in these times that the future generation will see how great the current Filipinos are.

If there's something that I took away from the recent "holy week", is the fact that Peter never believed that the glorious Sunday was coming. It was in the saddest of the sad Friday when he lied and disowned his Friend and Master. It was in the saddest of the sad Friday when all but two of disciples hid. Confused and afraid. Never believing that the glorious Sunday is coming.

We are all confused, sad and scared in our own current version of a Good Friday. But do we know that the glorious Sunday is coming? :)
