placido-penitente complex
the world is just so very much unfair. i know for a fact that im definitely not part of the population of the politically aware citizens, more so, im isolated far away from it, but it's just too obvious. watching the news is always so abnormally depressing. it makes me feel so guilty of being lucky. i really cant consider myself as, you know, pitiful (is that right? whatever), i believe that deaths and a little poverty is just part of the world as a whole... verity of the whole yin-yang theory or something i guess, but it's just so pronounced and so everywhere. and im being such a hypocrite, since similar to all the people i know, i dont do enough to help better the philippines (its community and economy), better yet, the planet.
how could it be, though, that we all feel guilty of not helping, yet because of a stupid trend, we still, still, still dont do anything about it. at all. unless, ofcourse, it's, like, a school requirement or something like so.
kinda reminds me of el fili's placido penitente. and i still feel useless. but here i am, just writing it all down but not really doing anything about it.
