CHANGE for the BETTER!

“Change is the only permanent thing in this world.” It is a passage which was passed on from single generation to a different age band. An old adage but if you come up to reflect on it, it delineates veracity.

We are all living below one sky with different horizons to take, but as we journey through it, we all submit ourselves unto same and gradual process called CHANGE. I have been hearing the word “change” in my day-to-day living. I hear it from a kid, an adolescent, a married woman, a politician, an abused man, a criminal and even people rallying in the streets. Change has been along with us from the day of our birth and of course until our death. Change is known to be the twin brother of existence. We can never escape this process of life, for life itself is a process of change.

Well, change touches a variety of different subject matters. But, I want to focus on the change WE can do in building the world an enhanced situate to live in.

In our generation of today, we can never deny that the government has many flaws; flaws which are the causes of the slowing down of the progress in our economy. Politicians during campaign periods  or near elections always say they will be the catalysts of change and the advocates of good life. But, when the day of service comes, SOME of them already forgot the people who made them sit in their offices. SOME of these politicians already forgot their promises. “Pangakong Napako” as we Filipinos say. These politicians just think for themselves. As long as they get money and they live happily, they do believe that life will go on. But, what about the other people to whom which the stolen money is for? What about the people who believed those lies? Is that just it? How could we all achieve economic progress with these kinds of leaders? Leaders, technically, they are just politicians not leaders. It is high time for us to choose and think if the politicians to whom we entrust our state are really the right people.

But, hey, I think I forgot one factor that slows down the economic progress. It shouldn’t all be blamed to the politicians; for, we all have our individual responsibilities for ourselves and to the country. We should also do the right things. We should change the bad practices we used to do. We should change the negative aspects of our lives. We all must change for the better. Can you?
