My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I give this 3 stars (It's been a long time since I've given a whole number rating :))). I can justify the 3 stars, but I'd rather not go into details. Hahaha :D:P

by Ego or by Love?

During one Chemistry class, my teacher discussed the principle of codependence where one's happiness is dependent upon the happiness and approval of one's peers or constituents. This is simply equivalent to the social needs indicated by Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Sir had a valid argument. Why be dependent on others when you can be happy with yourself? Then, it struck me. Can we really do away with codependence? Is it not inevitable that when some people become happy because of what I did, I'll become happy too? After some time, I concluded that we can't really do away with codependence, but the question is, are we codependent by ego or codependent by love? Codependence becomes detrimental when it is done for one's ego, but I believe that when it is done out of love, codependence becomes enriching. As human beings, it is almost impossible to live in this world alone. We constantly need companionship. We steer away from the path of loneliness becau...

Review: The Philippines: A Past Revisited

The Philippines: A Past Revisited by Renato Constantino My rating: 5 of 5 stars Excerpt from Ch. 18: "When there is an attempt to understand society not in terms of myths and theories but in terms of the concrete experiences and sufferings of the people, history acquires practical significance. For only if they are armed with a concrete understanding of Philippine reality can the Filipino people act correctly to change that reality.

Only then can facts be really understood and not be merely known; only then can this understanding of facts become an understanding of society; only then can history b...

Believe to feel

We often complain. We often think we don't have enough. We're often so consumed with the idea to acquire more. What foolish and ungrateful beings we are. In hindsight, no matter how we look at it, things could have been worse. At the end of the day, we can do nothing but to be grateful. Why are we so concerned with having more and better things? Is it human nature? Is this really what we are? Beings with insatiable hunger for more. I don't want to continue feeling this way. I want to feel contented with what I have. This greed poisons my very being. It's turning me into something I don't even want to think of. Why do some people always seem to have it all? Why? What do they have? Love. Can it truly fill that gap? But, you do know it's hard to feel the love when everything around you is a mess, when things couldn't possibly go worse as it is and when things seem hopeless. To feel love, one must take a leap of faith. To feel love, one must learn to see thi...
