I was watching a local channel on TV last night and they showed a clip from the upcoming movie of Richard Gutierez and Claudine Barreto. The later, while talking to her father, said, "Gagawin ko kung ano ang tama." And I was thinking...huh, ano ba ang tama? Does it follow that when you do something that suits the majority of how people should act and respond, you seem to be on the side of what is right?
Personally I think, this is what's wrong with society. We are always given a set of norms to follow, rules to abide, do this do that kind of situations, as early as we start to perceive things in this world. We are deprive of our innate freedom to be our true self so we drown in a conditioned existence. Let's start from our parents who's beliefs are also inherited and conditioned that is being passed on to us. The church who preach out religion and bible but never on experience. Our government who puts on laws to incorporate order yet it's the same laws that gives biases, judgement and prejudices among people. And you tell me, you do what is right?
Remember, people have their own perception and way of viewing situations/matters around them. What might be right to one may not be the same for the other. Different backgrounds, individuality and experience. For some they may even base it on religion, ethics, psychology and morality. Then again, how can you say you follow what is right?
When I ponder on this statement, somehow, it boggles me why some people seem not to choose their words wisely. I, on the other hand is just expressing my sentiments.
