but seriously...
you cannot say whether something is right or wrong just because of what a person did...
it's a case to case basis...
i try to broaden my point of view...
both sides have their points..
nakupo..this could work both to my advantage and disadvantage if ever i decide to become a lawyer...
haha...
hay...
another thing...the Church...
i believe in God....but then..i don't believe in the Church...
they're also people...and they're so narrow-minded..
they're the ones who get to decide what is right or wrong for our religion?
they're the ones who decided which book should be in the Bible...?
and now...we have a conservative pope....
man, why did they choose a person with such bad credentials to become pope..
seriously...
i want pope john paul II back..he was a worldly pope..he was open to people of all races..he respected all religions and beliefs...
hmmm..next topic...suicide..
only a few people would be able to understand the reasonable causes of suicide..
experiences...solitude...abhorrence...
at times..yes..it is cowardice..like you're running away from your problems....
but in situations wherein people are the ones who are already pushing you to do it..
wherein you no longer see anything good in the world around you...when no one trully understands you...when you think that the world will be a better place without you...
and why should we let others affect us...to commit such an act...
well..it is inevitable to be affected by others since we are social beings...and whatever good we do shall cause a ripple effect unto others and even society...and so will whatever evil we do...
am i trying to justify suicide...
yes..i am trying to justify the reasons of those souls that have gone from this world due to society's indifference and oblivion...
these souls do not deserve to be called cowards..
for they were brave enough to see beyond society's facade...
they tried to go against it..
unfortunately...their being could not withstand the society's endless chastisement to their soul..just for being unique...just for being different...just for having eyes that can see society's true vindictive brutal form...
but i tell you..not all suicidal cases have reasonable causes...
but then again...who are we to say what is reasonble and what is not...
again...not everything is black and white...
there will always be seas of gray...
hopefully....i have given it a new meaning...and so it will not as empty as it seems....
*sea of gray-journalism jargon for the empty spaces in a newspaper...
Ninsy wishfully thinks...
i always have a nice time reading your blog. ang unique kc ng opinions mo eh. :) anyway. to share a little something. i agree with what you said about the Church. yes, they are humans, but still, they practically gave life to what Christ started. kc tgnan mo din... if no one believed the Apostles after Christ died, then no one would have continued living out His doctrine, dba? i agree that they are flawed, narrow-minded people, so in my opinion, they don't need our judgment. they need our help and prayers. :)
anyway, about suicide... i don't believe that people taking their lives are cowards. i believe they have a problem -- a psychological problem -- that would not let them see the brighter side of the world. people do care about other people, and people are willing to understand people if they let them. it's true that suicidal people may have seen something wrong with the world, but i believe that they haven't seen the whole thing, making them wrongly judge it. but hey, i agree with you... people who commit suicide should never be judged; they should be understood. :)
hehe.. :) so ano 'to.. gumawa ako ng mini-entry?!?! :) cge... paalam... :)
