A REACTION TO AN ARTICLE

Reading a book requires time and patience; endurance, if need be. - These phrase really caught my attention; but I am not saying that this is very true for all. Maybe for some, but at least not for someone, like me. I am a book lover by nature. I tend to enjoy every single page of a book every time I found a place to sit in and do cuddle one. It is as if I am at the verge of the solidarity that binds me and the hidden senses of a certain book. And as a matter of fact, I could say that books had been my constant companions since then, I was a kid. It has given if not everything, but at least, some of the knowledge I indulge as of now. But again, through books there will be a continuous cycle of learning. Because learning is said to be endless, there is no such a human being existing in this world who would then claim that he knows about everything, because that is vaguely impossible. He might say that he had already read a lot of books, but still profoundly he is not 100% sure of the knowledge he has. It might be enough, but still, not perfectly enough to conquer and answer difficulties in life.



In general, this certain issue is a huge truth that we Filipinos must seriously face. But, unfortunately the major problem is we Filipinos hate solitude. We hate being alone and for more being isolated. This is very terrifying, due to the large cooperation and thorough development of the cyborg world, applied to our daily living; and in return we depend ourselves to them. I have to admit, I myself too also do spend hours in front of the computer, doing unproductive things instead of running some errands. Well, it is now a known reality that it like a virus, a deadly and contagious one. Spreading all over the world. This is no longer a big joke. It actually frightens each one of us, especially for the next generations to come. We are now suffering, how much more for them? Illiteracy and poverty are highly at hand. Some have suggested that technology can save us. Some have suggested that technology alone can save us. See how it mobilizes our human race.



Now, much is expected of us, change is within us. It is a big challenge for us to change these stigmas; whereas it is now planted and continuously digging, spreading and devastating all over our land. Creating more crates and holes to the downfall our our entity. This problem will solely remain a piece of jigsaw puzzle until the end of time. Not unless, we Filipinos learned our mistakes and discover ways to convey evil. It is never too late for us to be better and productive citizens of this world, it simply depends on which path we choose to cross. It is either the long and right one, or the short but redemptive one. Anyway, It is still your choice. Your choice to be good or your choice to be bad.
