Human contentment is unfathomably infinite. Surely, each of us has a fancy to succumb and a goal to achieve. Searching and finding until we can finally satisfy our thirst for contentment. And after that, what? After we achieve our dreams, are we finally satisfied? Are we finally fullfilled or still quest for the rare phantom of "perfection"?
In my own understanding, I believe my country, Philippines, will decline. I can feel it's downfall yet I can't feel hope that can save this land from ruins. Brain and Brawn drain. Very evident of students and even doctors taking up courses (Nursing in demand abroad)that gives them oppurtunity to go abroad to earn "dollars". I am very saddened that many Filipinos will be leaving the country where heroes had sacrificed and died for. Ignoring the small "worthless" peso for the golden, highly praised dollars. Leaving the land the color of their skin has been well known of. Leaving the Philippines for salvation from hunger. Leaving the country until no citizen is left? The land known as the Pearl of the Orient Seas, and now, Starved Orphan of the Polluted Seas.
When can we be satisfied? Until the Philippines is nothing but a mere ghost town? When can we be satisfied? Until our motherland is down to her feet, whipped and slashed? Bleeding and battered to the ground? The issue "Brain and Brawn drain"...CONTENTMENT OR SATISFACTION?
Philippine poverty looks for stable life. I am no economist. I have no idea where and when did poverty actually began. Skeptics says it began when the price of oil fle sky high, homebodies (housewives) accuse that it began when the wrong politicians were enthroned in the government. I mean corruption. Professionals strongly believed and expained that it is because of the population explotion. Yet analysts, contradicts that there is no such thing as overpopulation but only the lack of resources...so many reasons, can we ever be satisfied even if we finally know the answer to our discrepancies? Many accusations. Who is to be blamed? The many answers...CONTENTMENT OR SATISFACTION?
