What silence taught me

These past few days, I wasn't active in posting my thoughts about the elections. Why? It's because I'm still not sure who to vote for that time.

But in doing this, I realized a lot of things. I learned that in silence, you get to discover new things that you haven't thought of before. Reading my friends' posts paved a way for me to accept different perspectives as to whom should we give our precious votes. I came into conclusion that the Filipino people, having different political views, is a sign of a healthy democracy.

Hence, I don't care if you're going to vote for Mar, or Miriam or Poe, or Duterte, or even Binay. What I care about is that you practice your inherent power given to you by the state.

With this, I pray not for my candidates to win, but for a clean and honest elections, where the votes of the Filipino people are respected and heard.

Beasts of today won't even scare us in the future

I just finished watching a movie that really scared me when I was a child. No, I will not mention the title of the film because it's a bit embarrassing to actually admit that I even considered it as a horror movie -- let alone be a terrifying one. And what about it? Hmmmm. For me, the fact that I haven't even shed a sweat or had cold feet while watching is an eye-opener.

It made me realize something; a thought that probably most of us know but never actually dwell on. And that's about life being a guru of courage.  As time passes, we deal with different monsters. Some frighten us, I mean a lot, but then after facing them a couple of times, we learn not to be afraid anymore. We get the knack on how to conquer them and then we become masters of those beasts. Then, at later point, when we already excel in defeating them, new monsters come. However, this time, we're equipped with unspoiled powers, making us the better version of ourselves.

The monsters might be stronger than the ones before, but we have to keep in mind that we also gained new aptitude to defeat them.

In the end, the beasts that scares us today won't even matter in the future. There are problems that seems huge as of the moment, howbeit, remember that eventually, we'll be able to conquer them.

Life teaches us to be courageous, and so we become exactly as what are guru tells us to be.
