On Being Human

( I forgot to blog this one. Good thing I rummaged through my notes. I wrote this when I was still in Manila few months ago. Another dramatic moments.) What's new!



It’s hard to admit that sometime in our lives we are losing hope. When we are struck by immeasurable pain of tragedy, we cry and kneel in defeat. It’s hard to deny from people that behind our smiles and laughter, there hides a lonely and miserable soul. We cannot deceive others from the pain that we are feeling inside. Why?

Because each one of us shed a tear for the same reason. It may happen in different ways but still it’s the same pain and suffering that everyone has faced. Maybe this is one thing that makes us human – enduring the same misery.

There are times when I thought that I was so unlucky to experience the worst things in my life. I never realized that there are people out there who are suffering more than I am. Well when you are in so much pain, you will no longer notice what’s happening around you.

How could it be that a soul with good intentions is the one to suffer the most?

There are truths and even lies in this world that remain to be a mystery. Even if we try to figure it out the answers wouldn’t jus come out.

I am afraid of becoming selfish because I wouldn’t want other people to cry and be hurt out of selfishness. But at times I thought of becoming selfish. I wouldn’t deny that sometime in my life I wanted to be selfish. But I can’t.

I don’t want to see myself in victory out of stealing happiness from others.

Maybe this is what makes me human.

Searching for my own happiness and the happiness of others.
