Policeman

I remember a few years before. There was this policeman who almost died (I think, if not, he died really) trying to quiet a group of rallyists. The policeman, who had a gun, did not use the gun to the group - he wanted to use the non-violent method to control the crowd, but the group of uncivilized, insensitive, selfish rallyists, who say that they are of the poor and the masses, mobbed the poor guy. Aren't the policemen members of the masses? If they are not, why would they have to work in the first place?

When there is a rally, I wonder how these people say they represent the Filipino people? They only represent their selfish character. That's all.

I did not watch the SONA. Neither is the reason for lack of interest in the state of the nation, nor lack of trust of the political leadership. No. I do not want to read about it because of the usual news of people not thinking of the greater good, nor for their own individual good, about what is really good in the long term, or such things. People who opted not to study and learn the basics of life, blame the government for not giving them the "basic services," complain about the government not working for them. Since they did not study, they might not have heard "Do not ask what the country can do for you, rather, ask what you can do for the country."

What is the state of the nation? It does not matter about the economic status of the nation (although, if not for the political crisis created by selfish "opposition," the nation could still have been better), the political crisis, or leadership image. This is easily seen in the moral state of the people. People do not value what is really valuable and essential. They instead promote selfishness and division - what those party lists and activist groups promote as "rights". Where have the Filipinos allowed themselves to come to with such destructive "advisers"?

Monthsary. Anniversary. What is the essence? I'll give my perspective on it next time.
