Blindly Pointing Fingers

"Why can't Philippines be progressive?"

If some one asks you that, what would you say? 

Normally, many would say that it's because of the government, the uncaring politicians, the unfairness of officials and the corruption of people with power and authority, right?

I hear and read that everytime such question is asked. This belief is too mainstream that you would seem outdated if you don't feel the same... But I just have to disagree... I won't deny the fact that many officials are like this, but are they the ONLY reason why?

Floods occur, blame the Government for not fixing your area... You're living a tough life, blame the Government for being rich... Philippines is a third world country, blame the Government because they are corrupted... That's how common minds work... But have you ever thought of the OTHER reasons?

Before you point your finger on anyone else, look at yourself first... Why is there flood? Because irresponsible human beings keep on throwing their garbage all around like there's no tomorrow... Why are you living a tough life? Because it's the life you chose and you refuse to move on from it. It frustrates you, but you're not putting enough effort to end it... Other than it being filled with corrupted officials, Why is Philippines a third world country? Because you did nothing to help it progress... You were busy pointing fingers, telling everyone who is to blame that you forgot to point at yourself. What have you done for your country? 

Many didn't even bother to do something, they all think of themselves only... Nationalism is dead in the Philippines but there are few who are struggling to revive it... yet many others don't even bother. If one desires change, it must begin within himself first, am I wrong? Now so many are ranting as to how Philippines is such a bad country but I tell you, you have no rights to say that because you didn't even try. You gave up too easily.

I know I have no right to judge a person... But no one restrains me from judging the situation. Thus, I shall express my belief... 

The Philippines is not progressive because in there in the government lies traitors to the vision of our president for this country. Not all of them, but many are... 

The Philippines is not progressive because most of the people there only know how to complain but don't know how to act. They keep on blindly pointing fingers, blaming others before they realize how undisciplined and irresponsible they've become...

The Philippines will never reach progress unless the blinded people and those traitors in the administration change themselves for the better...

The Philippines will never reach progress if they let the poison of corruption take over their minds.

Oops, I think I was a little harsh there... But if you think I'm wrong about you being undisciplined and irresponsible... if you think I'm wrong for for saying that you are traitors... Then please, I beg you to prove it... Because if you're not like that, Philippines needs you and would be very proud and honored to have someone like you! No one would probably tell this to you, but Philippines would really be better off if all people are like you, unaffected by the poison of corruption... :)

Do you agree or disagree?

The eyes of a sparrow are small... If focused to one part alone, other details can barely be seen... You're free to tell me what I missed... I'll humbly accept or consider them, when done constructively... :P
