A Perspective

So, my expedition is not yet over, it is but the start…

In my entire existence, I became aware on every issue concerning every individual on particular reasons, either to oppose or not to. The worst scenario is when a dispute start, a disagreement, an argument (either false or otherwise) which would lead to a so-called rivalry between particular individuals or groups. A non-stop stoning of their foul deeds and that could certainly occur or recur in different situations, just like a contagious disease inflicting every living cell which could destroy a whole being.

For my 17 years stay in the surface of this orb, I’ve experienced enormous variety of variations and diversions, from the basic unit of the society, local areas, school or university, and of national or even international diversification.

Thus, in its own circuits, it accompanied different electrifying charges of either negative or positive equivalence. Their world is much chaotic than to someone who live in South Africa where even juveniles do unforgivable deeds as the rebels insists and torments them in their own way. There are almost 200,000 children, as of now, being used as soldiers for their ‘selfish desire’ of ruling the entire Africa and see no peace but destructions and chaos. The rebels decides for what they want to do without conforming to the norms of the society particularly to the laws in their state. They made their laws to follow which people suffers because of no safeguards from ‘papers’ and of even from the so-called ‘law-enforcers’.

In a small but larger sense, inside the family, this is known as the indispensable unit of our society. Many children suffer from abused (physically, emotionally, mentally and sexually), broken families, child labors and much more. The disgraceful juveniles suffering from all of these are innocents. They need enormous care, love and affection from significant someone. Why all these things are happening in our society? Does it give us a reason that we can generalize the world as it seems to be immobilized?

Psychologically, if an individual is emotionally disturbed at home or having stress from the family then it would certainly affect its outward behavior in different milieu.

If a child isn’t receiving any praises, encouragements and the like from his parents then eventually he will feel inferior and lack of competence, low self-esteem and confidence. But if the child’s perspective is not the otherwise, then he will just praise, or encourage himself that will cause boasting. From that, he will become voracious subsequently followed by a more habitual (bad) act in his latter life. He will be like an "alligator", thinking that he is powerful that the he can subdue everything, a synonymous act of politicians and leaders in different public and private sectors nowadays.

In short, the development of an individual affects a lot; he may abuse his power, wealth and capability, which could probably affect (also) his milieu.

As a Psychology student, a tagline is being imposed to us, that, "we respect individual differences and we adjust in every situation". Partly, we are in there, but we are talking about the people, there welfare and human side. We understand but we cannot impose to each and every individual to understand a person’s bad deeds. Only then, that the best moral principle is ‘utilitarianism’. The ethical doctrine, that the moral worth of an action is solely determined by its contribution to overall utility, meaning, "the greatest good for the greatest number". A sacrifice of one person for the sake, or for the welfare of the entire nation or, rather, for the entire university. That, what Jesus had made for us to be forgiven and redeemed. Can we just think of the entirety and not of our selfish desires?

However, for some people, who are running after to their emotions, and though we cannot blame them as a Filipino, because that’s our nature and culture – being emotional. But sometimes we couldn’t think for the goodness of some leaders that they have done in their administrations.

Nevertheless, if one couldn’t sacrifice his supremacy for the entirety, then we would make a move for his selfish desires.

A balloon is soft and tolerable for squeezing and it gives us a pleasure of ‘toying’ it. Sometimes, it moves up and down but not even popping out, unless someone will try to poke it.
A balloon is not tolerable or not enjoyable, rather, if the air inside exceeds to its maximum capacity. It can move up and down but it will become fragile and as one smooth poke, eventually it will pop out.

"If it is too much, then, enough!"



As we take every phase of our lives with the pace of a lightning, try to think for our freedom and for our rights…
