This is in keeping with my effort to look at the bright side of life and develping a thankful attitude...
Last night, I read a piece on National writer F. Sionil Jose (dad of one of our ex-Juvenists, Eddie Boy Jose.) He said that he hopes for a revolution so that the Philippines can have the much needed change it needs. All our leaders up to now (with the exception of Magsaysay it seems) have just been looking after their own needs and maintaining the oligarchy at the expense of the poor.
Somehow my thoughts started turning towards negative scenarios... what if nothing really good came out of all the mess that's happening in the country today? I realized after this futile exercise in useless worrying that we live in a world where the focus is on what's going wrong,rather than what's going right.
I just read an article about self-proclaimed virgins in Hollywood and how these people are regarded as an oddity...and so are looked at with interest much like a specimen in a lab!
What if the media focused more on what's going right with the world?
What if the news was equated with "things that are going right?"
Maybe newspapers would not sell...but we would probably have a world with a better, more positive mindset.
