Resiliency is not always a good thing

Filipinos are known for being resilient. After calamities hit the Philippines, they still manage to smile. It is very rare to see someone smiling in the middle of the flood to wave to the camera, how hard life is but still smile. I saw how fast they recover on situations like those.

It's been a good thing for the resiliency of Filipinos but I am afraid that they will just pass what happened and stay at it is. According to Shakira Sison, "The problem with our resilience is the speed by which we transform trauma into acceptance. Instead of solving problems, we simply cope or wait for the problem to pass." We are showing that we can't do anything about it. Is it really true? Why not making a goal to overcome it? Be strong enough to gamble in order to make things to the right path. You may fail, you can change strategies but never your goal. Be positive in a way that we think we can do it. Have determination. Problems may pass but if you do nothing, it will always repeat the past - makes it a cycle.

As what I have learned on our ESP subject, to act like a person, after you saw what is the mistake, it is our obligation to fix it. Smiling maybe the solution for hard times, but working is the best. Make things work and don't give up. Just don't accept but also fight and be strong.

Habang maliit pa lamang, nagiging sensitibo pa sa lahat ng bagay. Kunting ngiti at busangot sa kanila ay nagiging makahulugan at may malaking epekto ito sa kanilang pagkatao. Simpleng pananakit ay nagdadala sa kanila ng takot na maaaring maging sagabal pa sa kanilang pagunlad. Wala ng iba pang hangad ang isang kabataan kundi ang pagmamahal lalong lalo na mula sa kanilang pinagmulan, ang kanilang magulang. Ang mga materyal na bagay na maaari mong ibigay sa kanila ay naglalaho ngunit ang pagmamahal ay mananatili sa kanilang puso. Nangangailangan sila ng tulong at suporta sa pamamagitan ng pagtuturo sa kanila ng kagandahang asal, tamang edukasyon at pagkilala sa Diyos. Kailangan nilang may manatili sa kanilang tabi ngunit sabi nga nila, walang hihigit o makakapantay sa pagmamahal ng magulang At sa Children's Month Celebration...
