In the Eyes of A Child by Zen Ventures
Given the insanity of wars, global strife, political, social and religious conflicts: How would you define or create an ideal world? What will be in it? Who will dwell in it? What will you borrow and what will you eliminate from all the current madness in the contemporary civilization we all breathe in?
I pondered on these words… and I can’t help but mutter to myself…How the heck can anyone ever create an Ideal world?! An ideal world was created way before us but we defaced it, devoured it & plundered its’ riches and beauty with our erring ways. How then with our tumultuous nature be able to create an ideal world even in our heads ? I looked at my child’s eyes and there !!! The world she “sees” is the world I want to create. A perfect world devoid:
of Illusions – The Illusion of great power. Power that consumes so many a leaders’ hearts, they are blind to peace. Their hearts are so driven with greed and lust for dominance, they annihilate anyone in their path to get to their coveted prize: To Rule the entire World! This Illusion will be annihilated the same way this Wicked politicians annihilate their competitors. My world will only reflect honesty, humility and compassion. Read More >>>
The World in My Two Almighty Hands by wanawana
What do you think of the world today? Do you like what is happening with it? Typhoons, hurricanes, landslides, flashfloods, sinking ships, crashing planes, religious battles, corruption and the like are very rampant these days. Only two millennia have passed, but with what we are experiencing at these present times, the end already seemed to be just around the corner. If only there was a great miracle, it will be certain that the withering world and its inhabitants will be spared; if only I had the power to change anything, I will definitely go back the olden times and do everything just to make the world as ideal as it was on the first week it existed.
What if I really had the power? Prepare yourselves; for the very idealistic Joanna will let you live onto the “ideal world” she is about to create with the succeeding paragraphs. Read More >>>
Mama Don’t Preach by Disproving the Genius
My mom is corrupt.
For about a decade now, my ermats have worked for the Department of Social Welfare and Development, that’s DSWD for Christ’s sake. They are the ones who respond to those filthy government-hating squatters who, like puppies, come wagging their tails when storms flood their homes.
People hate you when you work for the devi—I mean, President or her associates. Everyone, including close friends, begin to lose trust, thinking that you are indeed working for The Devil. The typecast kills—erm, or maybe not.
The thing is, every time a typhoon hits Cavite, gazillions of goods (i.e. rice, noodles, canned stuff, etc.) need to be packed and delivered to poor people who are either homeless or drowning in accumulated urine, I mean rainwater. An oversupply of those goods always occurs. Since my mom is a Social Worker, she’s one of the few who does the packaging and delivery. And of course, she gets to bring home the extra sacks (yes, sackS—as in plural) of rice, noodles and canned sardines. [Not to mention the bond papers, yellow pads, and ball pens she brings home everyday.] Read More >>>
