Education is Far More Precious than Indocrination

No doubt, the key to our spiritual growth as a people and to our scientific development as a nation is via "education." Unfortunately, what we acquire in the Philippines is not "education," but "sick indoctrination." Indeed, schools, colleges, and universities are Catholic establishments where we learn to love not our family, to love not our country, and indeed, to love not humanity down here; but learn only how to love a sick divinity existing somewhere up out there. Is it any wonder that most men and women, even boys and girls, in our country, do not enjoy the freedom of thinking? but enjoy only the freedom of fucking. We produce three babies every minute of the day and night; or, 180 babies every hour; or, 4,320 babies every day; or, 129,600 babies every month; or, 1,555,200 million babies yearly! After our women deliver daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - babies to inhabit our poor and backward country, our men have also been indoctrinated to openly and publicly declare that "WE ARE PROUD FATHERS!" In the meantime, millions of the nation's children live off garbage in the streets of our major cities. We are even indoctrinated to believe that God has always loved us Filipinos and has always blessed the Philippines for being the only Catholic country in Asia since the 16th century. In the meantime, I asked it before, I ask it again: What value has our freedom of expression if, as children in schools, colleges, and universities - we are never taught to value the free play of free thought inside or outside, in front or in the back, below or on top - the playful arena of free ideas? Indeed, what value has the freedom of expression if we are never encouraged to question, for example, the destructive influence of sacred beliefs, parental prejudices, or even to challenge the validity of ecclesiastical authority? For my part, I always enjoy the freedom to make mistakes or, more to the point, - the freedom to be able to learn from my mistakes. In this way, I will always, to the end of my days, embrace the freedom of expression as one of life’s most precious of freedoms. Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
