"Of all the gazillion choices in the world you choose to take the wrong path. I'm sorry for being apathetic about your demise but as I have said: We are all the product of the choices we make."
I have stated this over and over and I am fed up. I am fed up of people not taking responsibility of their own actions. I am pro-life. I have always been. I am not an advocate of abortion though I believe that people should be given their right to choose whether they want their baby (excuse me? They are the one who will raise the baby and not you!) or not.
But forgive me if I am not sympathetic of anyone who choose a miserable life. Beggars for instance. I see a lot of beggars who are stronger than me and could easily offer to wash dishes for food than to beg for food. Who are you to oblige me to give you something that I have shed time, efforts and strength to ask for food which you could easily find yourself but refuse to do so because you are goddamn lazy?
I am appalled by the fact that people who smuggled drugs in China (and later on executed) would ask for sympathy. You have embarrassed your families and friends and your country! And you want me to sympathize? For what? That if you were not caught you will have millions and a lot of people become addicted to the drugs you have smuggled? That the drugs you smuggled could've ruined lives if not intercepted?
I am PRO-CHOICE. And if you choose the wrong path you have to take full responsibility of your action. True, Death can be harsh! But it was your choice. I believe that you were given a lecture at PDOS before leaving the Philippines that you should not let anyone pack your luggage. Therefore I do not believe you do not know whatever is inside your luggage.
My soul sister has another stand about this issue. She stated: "I think its more political. If its an American who committed that crime, do you think the punishment will be this swift? Chinese are the biggest smugglers in the world. They should kill their own people. Damn it! Political Drama to show off! A banner for communism! lol"
To which I replied with: "Its a choice. They took that choice. I don't care about politics. Do you think if they made the right choice they would arrive to this conclusion?"
I sympathize!
I sympathize to your family. I sympathize to your friends. I sympathize to our country. But never will I sympathize to your choice.
I may appear too strong to your readers. But really, it’s not political naiveté but rather an outburst of emotion! They just killed my own kind!
ReplyDeleteI do believe in Albert Camus words when he stated that, Life is the sum of all your choices. Yes, we can control the process of choosing and yes by choosing, we can control all the aspects in our lives. In the case of those Filipino smugglers, Death summed up all the choices they made. Bless their souls!
We cannot revolutionize or dispute China’s long standing rule in their jurisdiction. Why change that, when they hold a world record (Am I mocking them?). Ladies and gentlemen, China ranks 3rd behind Singapore and Iran, as the highest number of people executed annually. But we don’t care about that! It has been said that, it is arrogance to look at the faults of others and I support that statement. Philippine government should stop poverty from creeping upward. Poverty has so many faces. It literally killed millions of people. It also killed Villanueva, Batain and Credo!
I may never tame a dragon, but hear me! The preposterous spectacle of putting a man into death will never be right! Now, this is my choice.

And what is your kind, may I ask? The human being kind? Kind of what?
ReplyDeleteWhat did I say about politics? That I am in no way (or another) interested with it and kid myself as a quasi-intellectual being just by declaring what I know (or the lack thereof) about politics.
I am a logical person. I appeal to the common sense (however uncommon it may be) side of a person. And for me, its as simple as this:
If you are a visitor of a foreign country you have to respect their laws whether its good or bad. Just as a guest to another house because they welcomed you.
Poverty may be a big problem in our country. A choice to take a wrong path does not necessarily mean you have to blame it outrightly to poverty. I still think its a choice to be poor. And that GREED is the root cause of all.
DURA LEX SED LEX: The law may be harsh, but it is the law.
As stated, I am pro-choice. And as you stated your choice, it could also be my choice to delete your reply (and I will not) but I will
tell you this: You do not appear too strong for my readers, you appear to be needing your own blog.
