Bop' til we drop

Charter change is just another diversionary tactic, goes ever person who is either an anti-charter change or an anti-arroyo activist. The whole idea of shifting to a federal-parliamentary form of government has been going on for ages now, but its just now that reactions to the idea has been very negative, as if the people really just don't want to go with anything our president wants to happen. May these opinions come out of anger, or out of a very careful analysis about the issue, the reaction from every mouth don't change. Maybe there are one or two who are actually pro to this idea, but most violently disagree with it. Who can lame them? With all that's happening to out nation, it's like no idea gives a full proof solution to any of our dilemmas that people can't even trust the plans of those who are in office. So what are we to do now? Obviously voicing out your suggestions on getting out of this crisis doesn't work, because everyone else has something to say about it. So what then? How about actually looking into this idea of “hers”. If you sit and think about this, decentralizing our government and shifting into this different form of government is actually a good idea. We've done everything we can to make this system that we have now work, ok maybe not everything, but history shows that so far, this system hasn't brought us anywhere. It's been a series of ups and downs for our nations, caused by different factors in the society. But don’t you believe that there’s another, more effective, way to do this. Maybe cha-cha's the answer, maybe its not. We can never really know until we actually risk all that we have and go with it.

So many factors are affecting the people's opinion whether they’d want something like this; most of it is their hatred, not towards the president, but towards politics itself. The name of politics has been so trashed over already over time and that any good intention that it may actually have all seems blurry to everyone else. No trust can ever be formed towards it and cause of this; any good thing that they actually have will never reach the people in it's fullest of greatness. If you ask me about it, i think what should happen is that everyone put out their pride, anger, greed, and hatred, and once and for all sit together and look towards what would be good for the nation as a whole. The only reason we never get to make good decisions for the country is that everything is always aimed inwards towards ourselves, whether we be highly elected officials or simple normal citizens, we always aim all good towards us. But this is impossible, sacrifices must be made, and a great loss lies ahead. Risking is a must and opening our minds and thinking widely is what we need. Every single person, opposition or not, official or not, rich or poor, boss or employee, powerful or weak, we all need a paradigm shift. Di na pwede tong pachambachamba, di na rin pwede tong puro violence, we are given great minds that can bring forth a perfect society, but all of that's tainted by sin, and that’s what we need to give up to get through all of this.

Like what i always say, God has something planned for this country, but none of us actually look into that plan. We all voice out our opinion thinking that we have the best solution in the world, but I tell you this, all our thoughts will go down in vanity in the end, there's an opinion that matters the most, an opinion that is full proof that will change EVRYTHING for the better of EVERYONE, how hard is it to give at least 10 mins of our day and ask Him about His opinion, how hard is it to actually pick that book up and read the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth?
