We are here in Brgy. Tue, Tadian, Mt. Province conducting our follow-up training. This place is nice and serene. The view is amazing and the weather, cool. The water coming out of the tap feels like it came from the freezer. In the morning when the sun comes out and the cool breeze hits my face, ang sarap. Tapos ang tahimik ng paligid, I feel like i am in touch with my inner self.
My inner self is someone who is content with what she has, someone who is not ambitious. someone who loves her family very much, someone who is reflective and empathetic, someone who is simple and detached from the outside world. Yung kuntento sa kung anong meron ako. Kung hindi lang mahirap mabuhay, ang saya sana. Walang away-away. Walang greediness. Walang pretensions. Walang drama. Simple lang. We all live in Utopia. Minsan ang sarap lang maging mangmang. Yung wala kang kailangang isipin sa labas. Yung simpleng pamumuhay lang. You plant and grow what you eat. You have your own family, raise your children, they need not go to school. Kumbaga self-sustaining yung family. They need not interact with the outside world. The family is just an isolated entity and they live in harmony. Their family is their own community.
Kaya lang naman nagkaroon ng mga drama at kung anu-anong gulo sa buhay dahli ang daming opinion ng mga tao. And society is cruel. Everyone can be condescending to each other. Everyone has the right to judge others. Sino ang nagbigay nun sa kanila? Yung ganung power to judge others? Minsan masaya maging mag-isa. Hindi kailangang makibagay sa lahat. If you just have five pieces of clothing in your closet, it doesn’t matter. To whom will you dress up for anyway? As long as you’re comfortable with what you’re wearing without looking shabby then that’s good. But no. Society makes us buy a lot of unnecessary items because if you don’t, people will judge you with what you look like. Napaka-shallow. Society can be shallow. And dumb. And stupid.
However, they say that no man is an island. There are also disadvantages of being alone, isolated. One can feel lonely, ostracised, dejected. That feeling you were abandoned. Also, chances of survival is higher if one lives in a community. But again having a family is like having a small community already.
