The Pessimist In Me

Posted on: 30th of June 2005 | Under: Thoughts & Emotions

I always beam with optimism in everything that I do. I always look at the brighter side of things and never stop hoping for a better outcome. But, recently I found a sole issue that left the pessimism in me rise.

Yes, that issue is none other than - The Philippine Government.

I am truly appalled at the recent events going on in the government. The president making an apology to the Filipino people and admitting her faults (faults which are actually pretty much unclear right now, which makes everything more confusing!). Different crowds have sprung up protesting for PGMA to resign and frankly, I don’t even know where I stand anymore. I, along with millions of other Filipinos, have less, if not completely lost, trust in the president. Her actions this past week has been very much disappointing. I am not happy with her being president, but, I would not be entirely happy if she resigns (or is impeached) either. Why? Because I just don’t see anyone fit and qualified enough to uplift our country from the rut.

They’re all the same. Each one of them. Elect another for presidency and for sure, the cycle will just repeat itself. Every single one of them has an unbelievable crave for power. Power, power, power. That’s what they all want. They’re all out to bite each other’s heads off, wanting to grab the bigger slice of the cake.

They should all just quit stabbing each other with blames. They should all just quit grilling each other and quit craving for power. Nohing will happen to our country if they continue being the selfless twits that they are.

They should all forget the gaps between them and start working together. Hand-in-hand. If everyone would just stop being so greedy and actually work hand-in-hand, everything would surely work out. Forget competition. Forget being on top. Forget power. All that just makes the country suffer even more.

I have lost all hope in the Philippine government. I cannot see a bright future ahead of us. The only time I will be satisfied and will start rejoicing is when I finally see everyone seated down together, forgetting all their greediness and working as one. But, my goodness, a miracle must first take place for that to happen!

Goodluck to us!
