I'll be more understanding to the plight of the less fortunate v1.2

[shadow]

na delete kasi yun unang thread ko...here's the story why the change of heart toward them...

I was admitted to hospital two saturdays ago for 3 days for supposedly Dengue, I was given the test and it was positive the virus affected my liver got an elevated SGPT...so doctors order for my admission.


I never had the usual dengue symptoms, rashes, high fever., body aches, orbital pain etc. but test came out positive, platelets was below normal so..what the heck. before that for the past 2+ weeks I just feel weak in the afternoon and feverish but no actual fever. I just let it pass thinking it was nothing and I;m just feeling tired. 'coz everytime I get home and feel feverish I just run it off. I jog for 8-10k every night around the village and after sweating it out nawawala naman yun feverish feeling. but feeling never improved. never took any medicine just paracetamol a couple of times to eased my uncomfortable feelings.

I just had my complete blood test last week of July and everything was normal..so I'm not worried about any sickness.

so two Saturdays ago my wife decided to bring me to the ER 'coz I was not improving and long story short I was admitted. so I had 3 days of doing nothing just lying in the bed and pondering about life, surfing the net waiting for my 3 square meals plus snacks in between to delivered to my room... in the morning pala they gave me menu and I can choose what foods I want for my meals and snacks the next day...

granting I had two specialist, private room and bunch of test done.. but no major test actually the major test was just the whole abdominal ultrasound, no medicines just two sachets of IV or 3 then inalis na my bill for 3 days was 75k+,

I was thinking if a patient w/o the means, how can they stay in the hospital bed and recover, how can they get well and not think of anything when they are thinking where are they gonna get the money to pay for the bills...I mean life is really unfair. I saw a lot of people dying of dengue in the news, was it bec they can't pay for specialist? were they afraid to bring their children to hospital bec they are afraid of the expenses..WTF?

so mahirap walang ginagawa na nakakulong lang and sick you got the time to think of things na hinde mo naiisip...it makes me realized I'm lucky and need to be more understanding to the less fortunate...I now trying to understand why they complain a lot...that's the only thing they can do...PUJs stop everywhere 'coz if they don't they can't feed their family. survival of the fittest..why would I blow my top when a puj suddenly stop in front of me? that's his livelihood his family's dinner depends on that one passenger he need to pick up before the others and I got the gall to be mad when I'm just on my way to the mall or to a fancy restaurant...see?

now I won't suddenly become mother Theresa. I'll still have my moment with them but at least it makes me a little more human...what I'm just trying to say is they really deserved more understanding and patience from us...the luckier one...

and another thing they are to blame for their lives but kahit anong sipag gawin nila I don;t think they will ever get out of their lives..masipag naman mga PUV drivers and other blue collar workers. unless it's pre destined like Pacyou..don;t tell me other boxers doesn't work in training as hard as him...I mean destiny na talaga niya na maging ganyan buhay niya.

so uls magbago ka na!!!!

[donbuggy]

Shadow is quoting scripture! Malala na ito.



But seriously, I don't have the answers.

[uls]

shadow you got a point pero i still think fault parin nila

if the poor will stop making dumb decisions like having lots of kids they could get out of poverty

[chua_riwap]

But seriously, I don't have the answers.

di kaya tipus (typhoid) tumama kay shadow?
ganun din yun eh....pabalik-balik na fever.

pero kung madalas yung mataas na fever, the virus would affect your brain.
kaya siguro ganyan, bumait si shadow.

[vinj]

Wait, what's Shadow really trying to say?

1. Be sorry for the less fortunate?

or

2. Magbago na si Uls?



Seriously though...
























saang hospital ka na-admit? Baka nalagay ka sa x-PGMA Suite sa St. Lukes.

Paano na yung anti-sosyal and anti-jologs advocate ng tsikot?

Oh... if you want to help even in a small way, support the education of a scholar instead of being nice to a jeepney/PUV driver (huwag lang yung scholar na may Iphone ah). I'm sure a lot of the guys here are very, very, very patient and generous when it comes to dealing with the less fortunate... the problem that abounds is the culture of abuse that emanates from this understanding and giving. The question is how do you do it constructively and correctly so that it does give a long lasting effect?

[samcoy]

Tama naman talaga kelangan maging understanding and this can be applied to anybody and any situation. As long as the situation is on your hands be peaceable with anybody. Kelangan lang din talaga ng patience lalo na pag makulit ang pasaway. Ako din minsan talaga na-hihighblood pag may pasaway, pero pag-naalala ko dapat cool lang, yun ok na ako ulit. Tsaka, isipin mo din sa sarili mo na ikaw din kung minsan pasaway and you wanted to be understood by others. Sino ba'ng hindi nagkakamali. So treat others the same way you want to be treated. Pagdating naman sa kahirapan, yung iba kasalanan nila yung iba naman talagang victim lang ika nga kaya tulungan ang nararapat tulungan.

Disclaimer: Di ako bading. :D

PGH...

Bakit yang mga less fortunate pag nagkaroon opportunity sa ibang bansa magwork sumusunod na sa batas. Ang pinoy na magwork sa singapore bilang taxi driver sa tingin mo hihinto lang basta basta para kumuha ng pasahero. Dito lang sa pinas ginagawa yan kasi inaallow.

Eh kung sino pa ang less fortunate yun pa madami bisyo. Yung example mo jeepney driver eh yosi king mga yan. Damay pa yung pasahero sa usok.

What if kung parang middle east tayo na bawat kasalanan may katumbas na kaparushan like pag caught in the act na nagnakaw putol kamay. Pag huminto ng kalsada para magsakay pasahero confiscate sasakyan.

Dito sa atin ang daming warning. First offense, 2nd offense, 3rd offense....hanggang unlimited offense. Puro warning eh.

Pag nabasa ng mga less fortunate yang post mo lalo mag take advantage mga kumag na yan.

Pwede ako maging kind sa poor but not sa poor na fool pa. So pipiliin din natin kung kanino ka magiging kind. Kung ginagago ka na eh mahirap naman yun.

shadow, you don't have to feel guilty for being rich (i know guilty isnt exactly the word but let's use that word nalang)

also, it has nothing to do with luck. it has everything to do with good decision-making

your status in life is the result of good decision-making

somebody in your family made a fortune (father or grandfather i dont know)

magaling ang diskarte

but diskarte is just one thing

they preserved the wealth (result of good decisions). not everyone who made a lot of money managed to preserve wealth. many squander their wealth (bad decisions)

not only did your parents preserve the wealth, they grew the wealth (again, result of good decisions)

and you were born into it

and you were trained by your parents to make good decisions so you helped preserve and grow your family's wealth

in short, you were able to enjoy that luxurious hospital stay coz of the decisions you and your family made

it's not luck

so don't feel guilty

it's reward for good decision-making

pansin mo mga poor they always make bad decisions

bad decisions on top of bad decisions

kaya hirap maka escape from poverty

[shadow]

I don't feel any guilt...I just realized I'm blessed...I'm still gonna be an *sshole with heart...



"If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs" Deuteronomy 15:7-8
