"He who steals my money and wallet, has stolen nothing, but he who steals my good name, has stolen everything"!
My fellow compatriots, beautiful daughters and brilliant sons of Alkebulan, militants and gladiators, Intellectual giants and positive thinkers, I serve you greetings.
OBSERVATION
For little over one year or more, it's either we wake up to the writing of hate speeches being circulated on social media or we go to bed with negative propaganda being broadcast on our local radio stations; something that we ourselves (the youth) are the engineers of.
Interestingly, just yesterday when I was a child and still in high school, my motivation and courage were lightened by the widespread notion that "the youths are the future or tomorrow's leaders".
How I wonder if those words still hold true today, because our actions and attitudes as young people speak contrary to what is being believed.
It's indeed a pity how some of us young people are very hateful and negative in our thoughts towards others.
The irony is "we are hopeful of becoming today's or tomorrow's leaders, yet we are very disrespectful and mean to the leaders of today".
Heroes and heroines are no longer those ones whose stand for social justice and equity in our countries or society, instead we celebrate people who physically abuse and misuse the laws and norms that protect us.
I THOUGHT THE PRINCIPLES TO LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY ARE CENTERED AROUND HONORING OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS(WHICH LITERALLY COVERS CONSTITUTED AUTHORITIES)? OR MAYBE THOSE PORTIONS OF OUR SACRED BOOKS NO LONGER MAKE SENSE TO US?
Well, we don't necessarily have to be schooled with teachings of the Koran, Verdas or Bible to understand these long life principles. Common Sense teaches us too. "He who steals my money and wallet, has stolen nothing, but he who steals my good name, has stolen everything"!
