It Could Be Worse..

Before we did the Mural Painting thing today, my friend told me a little thing she observed yesterday when we went to Jaro Cathedral for our singing practice.

I know how creeped out we could be when we'd be asked by hobos for money and food, but it's not right to jump and say, "Eww!" at them, right? Well, you got to agree with me. What in the world happened to our freshmen? I can't believe they actually did that. You know, those hobos out there could've been angels in disguise. That may sound weird, but it could be possible.

I did feel pretty much bad for them, but we were told not to give stuff to them. The thing is, I don't want people to oppress the star-crossed people who live about the streets of the plazas, what if we were destined to be them, what if WE were them. These people never took showers, or even brushed their teeth, or even had three meals a day, and worse they're being mocked by young teenagers under the education of a school that teaches them good moral values. What's up with that?

Did those girls forget about all the teachings they have learned? Then they don't belong to this school, or better they should've withdrawn from the nasty actions that they have flaunted to the eyes of the less fortunate. Don't you think so too?

If you were in that tough spot of having to beg all day to receive a single grub or two, and you were told that you were abhorrent in a really discourteous manner, how would you feel? Yeah, I know this question has already been asked like a gazillion times, but I want to ask it again anyway. How would you feel if you were in their shoes, huh?

Let me list a few emotions that might struck you when people would barb at you.

1.)Glum
2.)Outraged
3.)Pathetic
4.)Disrespected
5.)Despairing

There are more emotions, I know. But I just want to name a few.

So we would feel something like what's listed above. Actually, we do feel that, especially when these words are blurted out, "Ay ka suplada sang mga Assumptionista!" Aren't I right? Do you remember what you would reply in return from this disgusting compliment? We would say that ,"They don't know us, they don't even know what they're saying."

'Course they don't! They just simply see what lies in front of them. A girl in a red plaid skirt, who happens to study in a private school, wherein the tuition fee could be pricey, and yadda yadda yadda. So what? Isn't it so that we would propose that seeing the true nature of one human being, could possibly define them?

Answer this question then, are you really a brat like they say so? If your answer is yes, well, prove it to them. Show them the great goodness that lies within you. You know you have it. If you say you aren't what they claim you to be, start showing it to them. They won't believe you unless you give them your proof. Proof that you're someone who's got a ginormous heart.
