The series of typhoons that devastated our nation is just God’s way of saying that we’re vulnerable creatures. We could die any moment, our properties and livelihoods destroyed. We may shed tears on the losses that we incurred but they’re just material things and we can earn it back. The greatest lost are the lives of our family members who were cut short.
In a way, the devastating events are a good start to contemplate on things. It teaches us that in this world, nothing lasts forever. Our status, rides (cars), cribs (mansions), money, and influence could just go on the drain when we least expect it. It’s a good time to start preparing our souls. We should always be ready to face our creator regardless of our religious upbringing.
We are a resilient nation. In time, with each other’s help, we’ll recover. This tragedy only proves that Filipinos could unite for the greater good. I just hope that by now our hypocrites at the Catholic Church (particularly the Bishops, Priest and Nuns) have realized their mistakes and repent. What they did was casting stones to our politicians, plotting instability and enriching themselves at the expense of the people. It’s time that they should be there to support the spiritual growth of their flock and totally stop politicking. As for our politicians, they should prioritize the common good over their selfishness. For us people, we should care for our nature more than anything in this world. The earth is the only place we live in. We should love it and treat it with respect. We’ve done horrible things to our home. Now, we are facing backlash of nature and we’re helpless.
