balancethe universe has always needed balance. though it has been said through one of the laws of thermodynamics that all things tend toward disorder, this still means that everything, at some point, has balance. in normal meals, people want their drinks ice cold and their meals piping hot. that's balance. the human body composes of the right amounts of carbon, iron, potassium, and an array of other elements. but this doesn't mean that if you place all those elements in a jar and mix them up that you'll be able to form a human being. there is balance among all the components, and a specific way of putting them all together. that's balance.
how would everything be without balance? i mean, imagine if allen iverson, kobe bryant, tim duncan, lebron james, and shaq all played in one team. that would be anarchy. i guaran-damn-tee that they'd lose a lot because of the loss of the balance of power [but come to think of it, yeah, if that team would be unstoppable if they worked on it well enough]. anyway, like i said, balance comes with everything; including power.
so we come to the discussion on Philippine politics. yes. the balance of power is dying. it's like a scrawny kid on the see-saw with a sumo wrestler. look outside. the oppressed think that there is nothing better to do than to take their case to the streets and pollute Ayala Ave. with unwanted litter, noise, and most of all, disorder. but i don't blame them. the "fat cats" of of Philippine politics have long been feeding off them, like flies and mosquitos with icky suckers that just draw all life and livelihood from these poor people. i soooo want to blame a side, but i can't. it's all our faults. we destoryed the balance. we're leading ourselves to our own doom. like stupid little lemmings, we'll all follow each other to our desturction if we don't stop with all the drama that's fit for a telenobela. i look at what's happening on TV and i say to myself with an emotional, single-tear-streaming-down-the-cheek look , "what have we done...? what have we become...?"
i get so paranoid that something bad might happen. and i know i shouldn't even worry. the odds of something happening are very low, and i can really just do what i will. but for some reason, i'm shit-scared. which is a reason why i'm home alone on a friday night. everyone's out having fun, but i'm alone at home, stocked up on books to read and dvd's to watch, feeling as if i'm trying to survive nuclear fallout. stupid me.
anyway, i sure hope that everything turns out for the best and more importatnly, that no one gets hurt in the process.
urgh. the Philippines isn't ready for democracy. it makes me wish my sister would run for office in the future and become a dictator. hahaha.
