STRIVE TO RHYME FOR UNITY IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FATHER IN THE SON

Elusive

In a country ran by a government of intellectuals, progress seems elusive.
The brilliance of the country in individual sports like boxing, billiard and bowling always outweighs the luster of Filipino teams winning in group sports. The same way with our political system. It is a puzzle as to how brilliant individuals who work as a group still fails to solve our national problems.
One probable reason is because Filipinos do not have the concept of teamwork. Pinoys don’t have the concept of self-sacrificing aimed for the common good.
There is nothing wrong with aiming for the top; all people are entitled to it but Filipinos should remember not to step on other’s shoes in order to get ahead.
There is a need to get rid of the old paradigm which dictates Filipinos to prefer to work individually in the advancement of oneself hampering the group goal.
The nation has already suffered for long. So are its people. If the world could only comprehend the mantra of unity then man will not be solving national problems for long.
If all the nation gets from the current controversies is a choreographed cry for unity or a resolution not to get caught sinning, then the cycle of regression will continue.
