STRIVE FOR GOOD:THRIVE FOR TRUTH
April 5th, 2008 by lhuidjiSTRIVE FOR GOOD:THRIVE FOR TRUTH
I like to observe people’s reaction when I’m playing super
dumb. I believe by doing that on your first meeting you’ll see their
worst-matapobrish veneer,that’s why i’m not easy to judge people. There are even
times when I get shocked at how people approach me given that condition. I have
known coniotic/bitter people who are very humble and down to earth! On the
other hand, some who are known to be kind, smiley, and pleasing act otherwise
to members of the crowd who are easily neglected.
So anong nakuha ko sa kalandian na yan?… I’ve learned to
‘trust’ and ‘not completely trust’ ooooh!!! ano daw un?! La lang…
I also learned that you have nothing to fear from people who
talk too much. Ung mga sa harap mo mismo chismosa, backstabber, or those who
talk about everything in their lives-good and bad. Dapat partner ‘good and bad’
cause by knowing them thoroughly, you can prepare yourself for the worst! Since you know what they’re capable of.
I think the people we should watch out for are those who are
quiet, and prefer to listen and observe, or those who are allies to many but a
foe to a few, people who seem to be sooo perfect then strikes you at the right
moment, the moment when you are most
vulnerable.
I know you’ve heard of people like this, they build up their
reputations of nothing but the best! They ally (USE) with people in power, and
climb the ladder of supremacy in insidious fashion for dominion!!!
Whew! That was harsh! I’m not saying that those who are known
to be mild mannered and perfect are all malevolent! It’s just that we tend to trust
all of them and underestimate the innate evil (yin-yang) people are capable of
wielding.
At the same time, people who are known to be wicked or
immoral are hardly given a chance by society.
And so it is in this blog, in that one example, that I claim
the liberty to recognize the ‘FEW,’ The few that belong but traverse the bounds
of stereotypes, prejudice, gender issues, racism, double standards, religious
biases and the like who struggle to do things contrary to what we think.
The ‘FEW,’ the few influential, religious leaders,
financially endowed, artistically gifted, morally just, the geniuses, the
beautiful, and those who adhere completely to norms who veer away from righteousness
and use their brothers for personal gain.
All I’m saying is that there are good mixed in bad and bad
mixed in good, that not all are all and that we can never, ever generalize!
That every person is different and unique!!! Pero alam nyo na un dba?! Hehe
So! I think I made my point!!! Pero pahabol lang… tipong P.S. Let’s be open to the ‘few’
good in all that’s bad and be on our guard for the ‘few’ bad in the good brood!
Yun Lang!… So bakit un ang title?! La lang~ catchy eh, napabasa ka nga dba…
