Becoming like Bill Gates

Efren Peñaflorida Jr. is one among too many to be utterly branded as such. He, the kariton educator, who has been honored the 2009 CNN Hero of the Year is an ordinary man of extraordinary deeds exemplary of the change we usually just visualize.

If only it was possible for us all to be like him. An angel descending to be a hero of the World of Bedlam and Scum.

Perhaps. No, it is not merely a perhaps. We all likely perceive that the path to claiming what one desires to be all coarse and crude; but, not impossible. It is always possible if one goes out of his bounds, kicks some butt and breaks a leg. (Don’t be a feather-brain and take this literally.) The point is: go beyond your limits in an extent of compassion and fortitude.

And as you go beyond the limits, you might as well glimpse at the entire year of 2009 – an interlude almost waning. What sort of robe has it donning?

Diaphanous. Uptight.

So to speak, it is basically almost the same thing with the past years -- with its evocative cicatrices either delightful or not blighting every single thing that exudes life. Whereas everybody else might not agree with me at all, it is still the same thing. We end up digging holes of profound retrogression just so to be able to move forward in a much agreeable manner. That is, we don a fearless and pragmatic deportment.

Changing times had brought to us a pluvial archive of earth’s declaration of terrain wars versus humankind, guiltless bloody sabotage, political scams, you name it. However, these changing times have actually brought not only a single row of archive, it lugs alongside a cloudy archive full of silver linings. And these silver linings, what do they cause?

Philanthropy. 

A case of juxtaposition. A general discernment of the current situations. A general discernment of encouragement. 

But if you try to ask it again, what do these silver linings cause?

A state where Bill Gates, Angelina Jolie, Avril Lavigne, Ambassador Kirsty Kenny, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, local actresses Angel Locsin, and Kris Aquino, to name a few, envelops the warmth of benevolence for those who are bleak and weary.

A state of falsifying (not rectifying) fallacy.

Or even that of true ones.
