There are many realizations that we keep in our hearts. There are even more scenarios that really bother us in the course of opening our eyes and ears yet for the sake of keeping the peace, we prefer to keep mum about it. Yet some just make our sanity unbearable and the "beast" in us wants to let loose. Allow us to mention some:
* Torture or murder of a criminal suspect in a Manila precinct - have you seen the tape? 14 policemen involved! Binayug and company: how can you ever come to terms with your consciences? Certainly, this hair-raising show of inhumanity is not an isolated case. As one senator has aptly said: "How can you justify such a thing like that?"
* The "Ampatuan Massacre" - how is the case?
* Brown outs in Malaybalay - who will explain clearly why brown outs and/or black outs happen regularly? Even if once in a while we hear that electric posts have been hit accidentally or this and that happened, still some kind of communication is due to customers. BUSECO - may we expect better service?
* Teen-age pregnancies - what can parents, guardians and teachers do to this fast becoming regular cases, especially when the teens are barely 16! We notice lady-college students become pregnant at 19 because they are lodgers and are away from home. They go on with their schooling now that a law has protected their rights - their pregnancies do not become enough ground for expulsion.
Back to sanity . . . back to the insight: "Life begins when one lives meaningfully . . ." The filipino trait is worth noting for amidst the many problems that beset our society, we go on. We keep the faith.
