Alone with my Thoughts

Criticism may not be agreeable but it is necessary. It is like check-and-balance. I believe people complain not because they want to make matters worse, but because they too are frustrated that people who are supposed to get help by now are not getting it as expected. They may not have realized it yet, perhaps they will realize it later that it did so little to complain. But i do think that a vast majority of these people who are complaining are doing their part as well. Filipinos are good at multi-tasking, we help and we can  complain at the same time. I also believe that these people are not the misinformed ones and that their rage sprouted from an overload of information and helplessness of our fellow men broadcasted by the local and international media, more particularly in the social media. 


At the end of the day, we all want what is best for our people. Wherever we are in the world, Filipinos or non-Filipinos, we share that compassion to help each other in grave times like these. This not a battle of those who complain or those who do not. It is enough that we show no indifference in this challenge we are in. This too shall pass. It will take time to rebuild our nation but it will most definitely sharpen us.
