It's a Shame That There is Still That Double Standard

It's a Shame That There is Still That Double Standard

There are still conservative type of kin relationship despite the continuing liberation of our beliefs and preferences. Finding new activities adds up to another distraction and increase of gap. We forget about the borrowed time, that we will soon have to say goodbye with the people around us. We focus on the pleasure of material thing, swayed in the lust and ecstasy of less important desires that we forget that it's still the living relationship that completes us.

It's always the wise saying, “Live like it's the last day of your life” that I embrace when it comes to any relationship. Being older now and have tasted what's life outside the zone make me fail to remember once in a while what I hold as an ideal when I was a kid.

Sometimes we need to be distant and give ourselves a personal space for us to reflect if we are overly self-confident and self-possessed and missing the real essence of life. In tagalog, it's being too “kampante”. Being kampante will destroy relationships.

There's a lot of “How to be” when it comes to work and love life, that you'd seldom find advices on how to become a good parent, a good child or a good sibling (being a good brother and sister). That is how media, the greatest source of influence, is leading us off course.

  1. I guess I am. :)

    If there would be a person whom I can joyfully talk to for hours, it would be my sister. <3

    1. Took me awhile before I could really reply here. Lucky you Mam Zhen, ^_^ for sure it would be a nice thing. I can't wait for my little sister to grow up. So I can have someone to talk to...

  2. I am closest to my sister compared to my parents, She is my partner in crime, sometimes I wonder how other siblings do not like each other. I value my family very much, I already felt the loss of a father and a grandmother I am close with, that is why I promised myself to give all to my family until I can. :)

    1. oooops that me. Well, that's it talaga. You cannot choose the persons God will give you. There is differences in personalities that can be a gap for good communication. Though I am not close with my family, I still want to return the gratitude to them, I want them to be happy even without my presence.
