Apathy


I’ve learned to practice apathy. Why so? If I won’t, I’d go insane.
Look at the world around us (or our country for that matter). Look at the people living in poverty. The jeepneys using the steets as their terminal. The men drinking on the streets on a work night. The people videoke-ing (is that a word?) in the streets on work nights. The colleagues at work who always run out of money having to support their parents who are fit enough to work.
And then we have Legarda, Cayetano, Escudero, Erap, Binay & all the other trash in public office.
And then not having a true & honest media & news.
I could go on & on.
I could blog on & on like the other bloggers like Gorrell, Dona Victorina, the Professional Heckler, but nothing will change.
I am very close to someone who is close to a personality mentioned in Gorrell’s blog. I asked how he was. My friend said, “there’s nothing wrong with him, whatever they say about him, they’re used to it, they come from a political family, nothing is new.”
So there, everyone can blog all they want but these people in power (& with the money) really wouldn’t care.
It is really interesting to read blogs dishing out the dirt of people from high society. But don’t hope that it will affect them or that the bloggers’ so-called ‘crusade’ is going to achieve anything, because it’s not! These people are there for one reason alone. They are impervious. So why should we care?
We have all the clamour to have these personalities removed from television & print, but it’s not going anywhere. Tim Yap can be seen more & more on tv. Shrek will not go anywhere because she just has the connections (or the knowledge of people’s dirt).
Just don’t care is my advise.
Don’t watch their shows.
Don’t buy their newspapers.
Don’t even vote anymore because the rest of the country is dumb to elect these officials.
Just look at the the winners (& topnotchers) of the last senatorial elections.
Do not watch from the network you do not like. There are so many things you can do with your life. Watch the other networks, they have better (& more real) shows.
Surf the net. Watch free tv series, they are far better.
Go out & have fun.
In the end, the bloggers are not the losers. It is the stupid people. People who believe these blood-sucking lesser version of us.
In the end, when we get to have another president like Erap the ‘country’ will again suffer in poverty. No one will be lucky anymore, to get decent-paying jobs anywhere, jump from one company to another. Then the ‘thinking’ & ‘working’ people will be the ones left. The ones left to be able to buy high-class brands. The ones left dining in Serendra, Boni High St., Greenbelt. People will get what they deserve. The people who blaim everything else (& the government) & never themselves for their fate, always rallying in the streets, believing self-serving politicans & media personalities, will be thrown again in the streets, where they belong.
In the end, people will get what they deserve. In the end, the bloggers will survive.
