Here in the Philippines, a number of journalists died when they tried to oppose and dared to expose the shit of those in power. They were killed, oh no, massacred in cold blood along with their family and neighbors. This happened years back and until now, the case is still ongoing. Years?
I watched this movie Whistleblower, starred by Rachel Weisz, same idea, a UN employee who tried to expose human trafficking involving their very own UN superiors and local policemen. It said that it was based on a true story.
Because of these, I no longer know what to believe. Dear me, these people claim power because of their position? A place provided by the people to serve them. There is something terribly wrong here. See, the government created the idea of taxes to provide for the welfare of the people. However, I think what is really happening is that these public servants are overwhelmed by the money they are seeing. Hence, their primary reaction is to take it and think of it as their own. And I start learning about all this underworld created by politicians, millionaires and others with hidden secret propaganda. Geez, for what? being defeated by your demons is not something to be proud of. Especially taking advantage of other people just so you will be rich. I wonder where was that child-like enthusiasm that we all had when we were children?
blabber blabber. I am actually reading Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman. I think this is just one of the games where the demons and angels compete in spreading evil and goodness, respectively. We are all mere pawns of this game. But it is always our choice if we move, or not.
