Are You In For The Quest?

Did you know that there are so many of my batchmates who do not know me? Only my close friends, very close friends who knew me aside from my own family. I think that those "people" are so absorbed about themselves. Who those PEOPLE are? People who needs people? LOL.

I can talk by myself. I can live alone if I want to. But because no man is an island is favored by majority of the population let the island have people instead of bugs.

LONG TIME AGO:

While me I have to know all the people around me. Within the area where I live in the barangay within the town proper, within the city. I have to. I helped my Mother with the surveying of the area pertaining to its population, who are newcomers within the vicinity of the place where she is assigned as District president. My sister was the KBL President also had the task to sign-in the local teenagers so that they can participate in the activities provided by the local government. Volunteering in the sports program, green revolution, beautification project and cleanliness project. It also include several fundraising parties, outing (swimming), other activity about creativity or crafts.

Busy minding other people that sometimes I don't really have time for myself. I don't know, maybe it was traditionally passed on to us by our ancestors that we have to look after OTHER PEOPLE aside from our own family.

My Mother worked as a civilian employee, at the Chief Nurse Office in the military hospital which is adjacent to our home. It was just a walking distance from our home that I used to visit her in her place of work. My Father also worked in the Hospital at the administration office where I also stayed for a while for few minutes of reading. The Hospital is my LIBRARY. With all the medical book, JAMA journal of Medicine, Readers Digest, Panorama, all kinds of newspapers from Manila Standard to Manila Bulletin and Daily Express. All these newspaper, magazines are my normal regular source of NEWS aside from TV NEWS and RADIO. I keep myself informed, entertained, and be knowledgeable in time when I have to feed my young mind in my battle to the "Quest."

Now > which is the future it is the same battle. However the battle has a different phase, trend and strategic in the sense that what knowledge is the basis of truth, which one is about lies and fiction and most of all what information are based on facts? Are we living in the present generation that most of the information are fabricated because everyone owns a computer. Anybody with lots of financial capability can rule the world and everyone will follow that someone even if at the end of the world because simply they have to eat everyday and they have to live. Who wants to die anyway? Would you like to work as a bait and a hook?

That is absolutely not my kind of work. Let Jesus do that kind of work or let GOD do the work of a fisherman.
