There is nothing tragic about having been raised by ignorant parents at home; or educated by ignorant teachers in school; or indoctrinated into one’s faith by ignorant priests in church.
What’s truly tragic, however, is if, in later life, under the inspiration of more fear and ignorance, we care not for the power of ideas or to be involved in the search of the truth. We just carry on with our children and grandchildren to have faith in the same old religious mendacity; to believe in the same old political hypocrisy; and to contribute to the same old social insanity – that’s perpetually keeping us Filipinos spiritually poor as a people and keeping us morally bankrupt as a nation.
