A Baneful Life

Destructive family life. Destructive home life.
Destructive upbringing. Destructive education.
Destructive beliefs. Destructive values. Destructive
human relationships. Destructive habits. Destructive
attitudes. Destructive impulses. Destructive politics.
Destructive ethics. Destructive entertainment.
Destructive leisure. Destructive humor. Destructive
faith. Destructive delays. Destructive dealings.
Destructive promises. Destructive lies. Destructive
deceptions.

Indeed, our destructive way of life pretty
much describes why the Philippines is a chaotic
theatre of decay, a gloomy drama of energy in
human degradation so lacking in social, cultural,
and political integration.

I ask: Is it still possible that one day, by
some strange miracle from out there, we will
begin to love one another in our own country
down here? So that we can begin to grow up
gracefully as a people and indeed develop
creatively, efficiently, and peacefully as
a nation? Poch Suzara
