Πολιτικά / POLITIKA

valsarteprivateeyes.blogspot.com
ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY, ETYMOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN OF WORDS AND THE WAY IN WHICH THEIR MEANINGS HAVE CHANGED THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ANY GIVEN WORDS, WE NEED TO TRACE BACK ITS ORIGIN AND USAGE. FOR INSTANCE, THE WORD POLITICS, IT COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD Πολιτικά WHICH MEANS "AFFAIRS OF THE CITIES". AND THOSE WHO STUDY THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY ARE CALLED POLITICOS OR POLITICIANS.

MERRIAM-WEBSTER DEFINES POLITICS AS THE ART OR SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT. BUT FOR SOME, IT IS MORE OF AN ART THAN SCIENCE. THE TERM POLITICS WAS INTRODUCED BY THE GREEK PHILOSOPHER ARISTOTLE, WHO DEFINED IT AS A  CIVILIZED  FORM OF COMMUNITY.

POLITICS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR MODERN SOCIETY. IT HAS A COMPLEX AND MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE. THERE ARE LOT OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL GROUPS OR SECTORS IN OUR SOCIETY AND THEY ARE DISTINCT AND UNIQUE FROM EACH OTHER. THESE STRUCTURES OPERATES FREELY AND INDEPENDENTLY.

ASIDE FROM THESE MAJOR GROUPS, THERE ARE ALSO CLASSES OR CLUSTERS OF PEOPLE ASSOCIATED THEMSELVES BY A COMMON BELIEFS, IDEALS AND PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE.

NOWADAYS, BECAUSE OF THE POPULARITY AND THE GOOD FORTUNE BROUGHT BY POLITICS, MANY WANTS TO BE A POLITICIAN SETTING ASIDE ITS NOBLE OBJECTIVE. POLITICIANS ARE THE ONES MANAGING THE AFFAIRS OF THE CITY.

THE MAIN GOAL OF POLITICS IS PEACE AND ORDER OF THE NATION. PEACE IS WITHOUT THE ABSENCE OF VIOLENCE BUT CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED WHEN JUSTICE IS SERVE EVERYWHERE.

IN MY 53 YEARS OF EXISTENCE AND FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF MY COMPREHENSION, I HAD SEEN A LOT OF POLITICIANS PERFORMING BADLY AND CONTRARY TO THEIR SWORN DUTY.

POLITICS THEN BECOMES THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS AND SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE PAYING THEM BECOMES LESS AND LESS AND MERE INCIDENTAL.

LOOK AT OUR COUNTRY TODAY! AT PRESENT, WE HAVE US$167 BILLION DEBT THAT COULD BALLOON TO US$450 BILLION UNDER THE BUILD, BUILD, BUILD PROJECT OF THE DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION.

TELL ME NOW WHOSE TO BLAME? POOR JUAN DELA CRUZ! YOUR SONS UP TO COUNTLESS GENERATIONS WILL SHOULDER THE DEBTS EITHER PICK-POCKETED BY THE PEOPLE WE TRUSTED AND PUT INTO POWER NOR BECAUSE OF THEIR MISMANAGEMENT OF THE AFFAIRS OF THE COUNTRY.

WHILE A LOT OF POLITICIANS GETTING RICHER AND THE PEOPLES MONEY WERE STOLEN AND IF THIS POLITICAL LANDSCAPE WILL CONTINUE NOTHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO US.

HAVING SAID THIS, WE ARE NOT HOPELESS, REMEMBER, WE CAN WIPE THEM ALL IN THIS COMING ELECTION. WE KNEW BY HEART THE NON-PERFORMING POLITICIANS AND WE CAN UPROOT THEM.

LET US HELP EDUCATE ONE ANOTHER AND USE THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA AGAINST CORRUPT AND UNFIT POLITICIANS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND SOON WILL BE OVER.

DAILY ASSESSMENT OF THEIR PERFORMANCE WHILE IN OFFICE IS ONE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. WE SHOULD WATCH THEM AND MONITOR THEM. GIVE PRAISE WHEN PRAISE IS NECESSARY AND OBJECTIVELY EXPOSE THEIR WRONGFUL ACTS AND ANOMALIES.

WE SHOULD NOT GIVE THEM ANY ROOM TO EXECUTE THEIR EVIL DEEDS. ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT HAS GIVEN TO THEM CAN ALSO BE TAKEN.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

"SALUBONG" - SEMANA SANTA 2019

I WAS RAISED AS ROMAN CATHOLIC BY MY PARENTS. WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS CONVERTED TO BAPTIST. THEN MY JOURNEY AS A BIBLE BELIEVER AND MY CURIOSITY TO KNOW RELIGION BECOMES STRONGER.  I FOUND MYSELF STUDYING THE BIBLE IN BETHANY BAPTIST BIBLE COLLEGE IN DIAN ST. MAKATI CITY. THERE, I FINISHED MY BASIC BIBLE COURSE. THEN I PURSUE MY BACHELOR OF THEOLOGY DEGREE IN CENTRAL BIBLE COLLEGE. I ALSO TOOK SPECIAL COURSES IN PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY WHERE I FINISH MY SPECIAL COURSE IN THEOLOGY. I HEARD ABOUT "SALUBONG" DURING SEMANA SANTA, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, SEEN THIS DURING MY CHILDHOOD BUT MY MEMORIES HAS BEEN ERASED BY SO MANY NEW INPUTS ENTERED TO MY BRAIN. FROM A REFORMED CATHOLIC VIEW AND FROM WHAT I WITNESSED THIS MORNING, LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THE "SALUBONG".  THE WHOLE CHRISTIANITY WAS SADDENED BY THE NEWS OVER THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST THROUGH CRUCIFIXION MUCH MORE MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS BEAR THE PAIN. ...
