This is damn true and people who always complain without any initiative on their part to address on something they complain really pisses me off. I am not a racist here but, I always observe this scenario for most Filipinos (Uh-oh. Mind you, I'm also a Filipino). Complaining to almost every issues. Be it little or whatsoever... they're wasting so much time bragging, pinpointing and blaming! Geeez!
I'll share one of my encounters about this.
While I was on my way home, riding in a jeepney. It was raining. Seated next to me and the woman beside her talks about the flood issue.
Ale 1: Umuulan na naman. Baha na naman nito sa kalye namin.
Ale 2: Mga tapon kasi ng tapon ng basura kung saan-saan. May basurahan na ngang nakikita, sa daan pa itatapon!
Ale 1: Mga nasa gobyerno, ang tagal ng hindi inaaksyunan kasi yung baha doon samin. Kailangan pa yatang may mamatay bago sila umaksyon!
Ale 2: Bigyan nyo ng lagay, mabilis pa sa alas kwatro mga yan!
Ale 1: Ang dami-dami ngang basurang nakakalat doon! Wala man naglilinis!
-end- (Nagpaalam at bumaba na si Ale 1)
Geeez! If you have time to whine and complain about it then you have the time to do something about it! Are you really going to wait for someone to die? why not get out of your house and start cleaning?! Have the INITIATIVE mah mehn! For sure, your co-barangays will follow you! I bet!
Did you ever ask yourself about these everytime you complain... "what can/must I do?" "what can I help?" or said about: "Okay, let me do it or I'll do it."
Well, Let us imagine a place where people in such a community have the so called "initiative"... where people didn't have to wait for someone to pick up their messes, where people didn't have to wait for someone to feed them. Or where people didn't blame each others fault but instead, they help hand in hand on how to address and overcome the problem. Oh, what a lovely place to live in. *sighs*
I agree. Ang mga [inoy nga naman talaga! Anyway, way to go pat! :)
