Heavy Load

Sometimes, in life, people either leave or are left behind. This is a normal part of life. It is easy to be hurt and be sad when we are the ones being left by the people who matter in our lives. On the other hand, people who leave either feel relieved or numb from the loneliness and emptiness that they are bound to face...

Friendships, love, relationships...leaving...these are normal parts of life. The load of dealing with life sometimes becomes too heavy to bear, and we need to shed some load to move on. Sometimes, we are compelled to make compromises to make situations in life bearable. I'd like to think that the time I spend with the people who mattered in my life is one that they will carry on...I hope that the memories I have built with them is something that they will always keep close to their hearts... that even when distance separated me from these people, I will always be remembered, I will always matter.

So when I meet these people once again, it's just like old times... no matter how we've changed.

Objectivist Ethics

When someone calls another person selfish, it is usually taken in a negative sense. But why? Is it truly bad to be concerned with yourself before anyone else? 


If I’m crossing the street with my friend and I see a car coming at us, would I be wrong to save myself and jump out of the way rather then pushing my friend out of the way and getting hit by the car myself? Why should I value another life over mine? Who would protect me better than I can protect myself? 


Fortunately, I’m not alone in believing that selfishness is not a bad thing. Ayn Rand believes in the Objectivist ethics as well. The Objectivist ethics says that the actor must always be the beneficiary of his action. It holds that man must act for his own rational self-interest. After all who will value your life better than yourself? The Objectivist ethics is often misunderstood. It is widely believed that Moral Cannibalism comes from the Objectivist ethics.Moral Cannibalism says that the only way one can advance oneself is by injury to another. Ayn Randbelieves in the contrary, he holds that the Objectivist ethics says that human good does not require human sacrifices and can’t be achieved by the sacrifices of anyone. 

Brush with Death

In pagsuwayan Hindi, Bacacay, Albay PHILIPPINES, a careful tricycle driver was traversing the route going to the town proper of Bacacay when it was suddenly hit by a vehicle driven by a female drunk driver. Without that tricycle, the lady drunk driver could have gone straight down the creek. If her vehicle did not collide with the tricycle, she could have been the one who was tended in the hospital for gashes, x-ray appointments, bruises, punctures and anti-tetanus injections instead of the seven innocent people riding that fateful tricycle who were all simply looking forward to coming home to their families... all the lady drunk driver said was "sorry". Then I thought, will that "sorry" make up for the mothers and fathers that could have been killed in that fateful incident? Could that simple "sorry" make up for the lost leg or legs that could have been incurred by the passengers hit by the bumper of the drunk lady driver's vehicle? Could "sorry" suffice? I DON'T THINK SO. NOTHING EXCUSES ANYONE TO IDIOCY! I SHOULD KNOW, MY SON COULD HAVE LOST A MOTHER TODAY.

Blimey!

Why are we always blaming life about how bad it can get?

When we lose a game, do we blame the cards or do we blame ourselves?

Life is like this. or rather. Humans are like this, when something goes wrong, we need a scapegoat. We cannot take the blame, we are just beings that doesn’t work that way. It is like on the verge of death, you would rather pull someone else in and bring them to take the bullet.

We always tend to look for things such happiness, love, eternal health or more. We look into our hands, hoping to find these cards. Yet we can never find it. We put down the cards, and look somewhere else. Sometimes yes indeed we cannot find what kind of cards we want, for example we cannot make a full house with pairs, but doesn’t mean you will lose everything just because you only have pairs.

Its as simple as the desire for that specific card, or something in life. life is evil or whatever people want to refer it to, it just does not give everything you want, in fact, it may even take away "something" from you. Then, you end up chasing for that "something", run for it. But sometimes, with all the effort you've done, for some reasons, that "something" would’t come to you.

Then, there is always a plan, THE plan. when things don’t go as planned, then things aren't working out. or is it?

"while someone chose to break your heart, someone else is waiting to fix it. Don't be too hard on yourself, open up your heart to him. Give yourself the chance...give him the chance..."

No Philosophy

No one can put a good man down...or in my case, a good woman.

I'd like to think that with everything on my plate, I did the right thing. Although at times, I am doing things blithely aware of the hurt and hassles of consequences, at the end of the day, I console myself that I did the right thing. This may sound snobbish or self-righteous but that's me.. I truly believe in karma...hopefully, by doing the right decision, even when that decision does not benefit me or serve what I want, I believe that my silent battles with sticking to the right thing will be duly rewarded...of remembered.

Sometimes, when I am really in trouble and I mean REAL trouble, it just happens that my problems seem to magically vanish.. fates play on your side. Then I realized, though at times you need to be unfair with yourself in the decisions you make, those silent sacrifices count. They are rewarded and some way somehow, it allows you to keep your ground. Though certain decisions won't serve your happiness, it serves a bigger purpose - it just showed what kind of a person you are - a person you can be proud of.

Years past, my sister told me I had no philosophy in life...whatever is that? Then now that I am writing this litany of mine, that's philosophy sister! some theory that you believe and live at.

Message of the Day

Crunch Time!

After taking the time to regain inspiration, strength and all other elements that a working writer needs to survive, I am up for some serious revamp. With my internship coming up, it got me all excited and jittery about what comes next. All I got is five months to finally earn that little certificate I have been working on for years. After that I will have a lifetime to enjoy. Hopefully I can make a good start with this mission of mine. After all, all great paths starts with that first step.
