The whole family is at our farm right now, we had some pictures taken for daddy’s campaign materials. Oh dear, elections once again. This is gonna be crazy. I’ve excused myself from everyone else, because I was too sick and tired of hearing my father talk about the nasty politicians trying to ruin his reputation. They’ve been throwing crude commentaries about our family in the hopes of pulling my daddy down. I don’t wanna be reminded of how dirty some politicians can be, so I just went inside the car and started typing my heart away here.
Speaking of politics, I hate it how distorted governance has become in the hands of corrupt politicians. But despite of how seemingly hopeless the political quagmire our country is suffering now, there’s still this faith inside of me that makes me believe that there will come a time when righteousness will reign in our country and traditional politicians no more. But of course I will not march the streets of Fuente for that to be achieved, nor rebel against our government. I have my own views as to how this can be done. And one will be vigilant with our government officials but at the same time not be self-righteous. I find it so ironic when activists rave against how the president has cheated this nation and yet there they are peeping through their seatmate’s paper during examinations. I know the disparity of the immensity of the offence is quite big, but all the major corruption that hurts scores of citizens has to start somewhere small. Probably Pres. GMA at first was involved in some minute anomaly and then obviously as we can see now, the corruption she has done has worsened and it’s now enormous.
Power does things to people, crazy things. And how can you be sure that when you are seated in that potent position where the people’s money can be yours in a blink of an eye, that you won’t be doing the same things that the politicians you protest against is doing? When all along you have been cheating as well, hiding <em>kodigos </em>on your pocket, have been stealing all the same, have been transgressing law by simply smoking in a campus where it is prohibited, and have said the same lies here and there,or created a whole web of it…
There’s a difference between standing for righteousness and being self-righteous. I’m not saying that since we are sinful and impossibly impeccable that we shouldn’t object to the ills of people in the government. In fact I believe that we should act against it and do all we can (in the context of due process) for justice to prevail. I’m only saying that while we examine all the faults and flaws of other people, we should also check out ourselves in the mirror and see if there’s a big log in our eye.
