Who I Really Am

Close friends and even lovers backstab each other; Elders tell false things about their children; churchmen and churchwomen flauntingly tolerate and explain away their evil doings; people use good people for selfish reasons; and people present good people as if they are bad. These are the kinds of people or acts that I have seen in the recent years that really shocked me. Every one of us in one way or another wants, and sometimes, even needs someone or a group that can be really trusted. Because of these kinds of people, this aspiration seems to be just an illusion nowadays for some. This is then why people just accepts these evil things and tolerate them. Another upshot of these evil acts is that they make innocent act or even good acts perceived to be evil acts by some who have lost their trust for the world. This is sad. This is so sad, isn’t it?

Facts are not difficult to find, but, since it is easy to make false ideas, facts are shrouded by stubbornness and cowardice. And so, false conceptions are tolerated and people are misunderstood. So what do these things got to do with who I am? Well, I know people who have judged me and said things about me that are not true. Some people have believed these deceits and actually accepted them as true. If you will ask people around me about who I am, I doubt that you will not be dumfounded with the way the answers will differ. Because of these people, you can technically describe me in many different views.

Deceitful people do exist. Odious deceitful acts happen. Let’s be aware. Let’s beware. We have no choice but to deal with them. That is, deal with them and not ignore them. We must all know that not doing anything to stop these things is a way of tolerating them. If we are one of these people and if we have one of these kinds of act then let’s change. Let’s strive for a better life and for a joy for everyone. To people who have encountered things like these, let us, in any how, stop these things and be a good model deserving of trust instead of being one of them. If everyone seems to be lying, deceiving, and backstabbing, then it is not a sign to stop in trying to do what we innately do… let’s not stop being good. Moreover, let’s be smart and let us open our eyes. Looking will just make us see the shallow and false things. Opening our eyes would make us be aware of the actualities of a situation and of someone.

If some say that you can not trust anyone in this world but yourself, this is still not true for me. I believe there are still people out there that I can really trust. I just have not really met them… maybe I have not yet realized that they are really trustworthy persons… and maybe I have not made them yet. :) We all can meet the persons we can really trust. We all can put up a family and make children that is worthy of anyone’s trust. To do this, it will greatly help if we’ll be trustworthy, ourselves, all the time.

Rumors might be able to destroy my name but only if when fools will be more abundant than the wise ones. This is because only fools believe in rumors; only fools pull down people to make them more acceptable; only fools fool themselves by accepting things based on intuitions; and only fools judge people especially if it just comes from hearsays. If I just keep up on trying my best to be good, my name will only be destroyed to fools by fools.

So who is Trx? Who am I? The facts will tell you who I really am.

Omega

Don’t you hate endings? I have, actually. I feel dejected when my day ends. I feel sad every time my time with my love one ends, wishing I had more time with her. I feel impassive every time a year passes away. Every time a party ends, it’s kind of sad driving homebound. The end just makes me lonely for one reason or another. But that’s before. It’s different now. Sadness happens every time everything comes to an end because of how we make it, actually. We are the reason why dejection happens every time the sun sets. If we make the most of the trimester, course card distribution, which will technically end the period, wouldn't be scary. If we tried our best to work out a relationship, there will be no reason for us to really torment if it ends. If we live our lives in His way, we wouldn't be scared of dying, coz after all, we can be sure that we will meet Him and that is just the greatest thing that could ever happen to a person. Endings are not actually the worst part of a time, of someone, or of a relationship. It is there to say what enough is. It is there to cue when to stop and reflect. Endings are actually there to set us in motion, fresh to begin another phase. A year is about to end again. A trimester is about to end to some. A relationship maybe is about to end. Do you think you’re going to end it sadly? Or do you think a greater part of you is going to end it smiling, reminiscing those good things that have happened to you, thinking of the good things you’ve done, and reflecting all the good things you’ve learned, contented because you’ve done your best? Whatever our answers are, we still have time to end these present things in a better way and spend a new phase proud of what we have done and what we have become. Let’s spend our time in the most productive way. Let’s try to do things that will last and will be remembered by the people around us. Let’s be consistent in doing what’s good to our lover or just anyone around us even if they are doing the opposite. Let’s make them feel who they really are for us... and who we are. Let’s do the best we can every time on every thing, so we could face the ends without anxiety and have it smiling and proud.

I'm Superman... You Are?

Do you know Pope John Paul II? Of course you do. Who would not know the most loved Pope in the history of Christianity?! I don’t know with you, but, isn’t he so likable? He’s like someone who you really want to be your father. He’s like someone who would be a perfect friend. He’s like someone who would be a perfect mentor. He’s someone who, even if you really don’t know, you really feel like hugging. If you don’t feel the same way to him and if that’s Pope John Paul II for me, do you know someone who you see the same way? Have you thought of someone? If you have, I want to ask. Have you ever seen your peers or younger people the same way? Have you ever consider that one of them might just be like that great person? Perhaps your answer is yes. If that’s the case I admire you. Or, was it no? Why? Is it because you see them sinning every now and then? Don’t you think great persons commit sin too? Or is it because you just don’t want to accept that someone can be better than you, especially someone close to your age or even younger? Don’t you think it is possible that one of your peers is about to be that great person? I don’t mean to degrade any “great” person, saying that they may have been someone like our peers some time in the past. It’s the other way around. Our peers can really be great persons tomorrow. They shouldn’t be pulled down. There are many reasons why people pull others down. Some of the reasons are their being stubborn and having overbearing pride to change for their betterment. These are the persons who unconsciously or even consciously chose to be stagnant and so, to be the best, they pull people down instead of doing something to improve their selves. Sad isn’t it? And, do you know the saying; First impression lasts? I think most of those who believe and practice that saying, also, hinder people from being that great person that they can be. I think these people even make others think that changing for one’s betterment is bad. They make others have a false conception that changing, even for their betterment, is changing who they really are. This is just one of the reasons why many of the evil things in this world are just not decreasing. This is just one of the reasons why there are very few great persons in this world. We all want this world to be a better world right? Then let’s encourage our peers in changing to be better…let’s change ourselves, because, after all, the betterment of this world doesn’t depend on the trees or animals, but, it is up to us human beings. Let’s learn to accept that others can be better than us. It’s alright. Let’s see their good things at least equally with their bad things. Let’s make them feel that we appreciate the good things they do and in the same extent let’s make them feel that we don’t appreciate them every time they do evil things. Of course let’s do the same thing to ourselves every time we do something good or bad. Let’s be great persons, besides because, like what Spiderman’s aunt said, there’s a hero in every one of us… ;)… Let’s all be great persons, for the reason that we can.
