You and I are almost the same. There are no many differences. Only that we have different insights and expectations in life. If only humans have common mind that thinks as one, for sure we can come up with better lives. I do agree with the good Cardinal Fulton Sheen when he said that “humans cannot be better because we do not have the will to be better.”
Living life is fulfilling its purpose. But wait! Does living make its purpose be fulfilled? We tend to look onward to the positive side of life but still we cannot do better because we cling on the opposite side – the negative side. We cannot accomplish nor can we improve ourselves to become better. We set divisions among ourselves. We often think that others can do more because they are better. Well, what is now the difference among us all?
Nothing less and nothing more – that is human characteristics are given to us by God equally. We cannot say that they are better for they have more than what we have. We have equal characteristics. Only that we do not use them to their fullest.
Being true to ourselves makes us more realistic. Seeing life as it really is, gives us the chance to know ourselves well. It is true that we can lie to others but not really to ourselves. Being true to what we feel frees us from worries and burdens.
But we humans are often blinded by external factors. Even if we already see a solution to solve a particular problem, we pretend not to see it. It is also the same when we hear the truth. We prefer to be blind and deaf. We are all great pretenders.
We must therefore open our eyes to the reality. For when it is when we open our senses that we are free from the shackles that locked us from within. It is only then that we can start doing good, even going beyond and live real lives.
This didactic essay was written by another student of mine, Rochelle G. The flow of thoughts is sensible and reflects this young lady’s maturity. The pictures were taken during the search for Ms. Intramurals 2003. My student, Gladys, won the search. With her is John Rey, the reigning Mr. Intrams.
