Life is Unfair...

It's 2:00AM...As I try to go back to sleep, I can't help but have these thoughts in my mind...

As I face my new responsibility in an institution...I began to think how challenging my task is. I am now exposed into realities in life where I see some people struggling to reach their dreams and are doing their best to reach their goals in life. Why can't life be fair to people? Why do some people have a miserable life? Until when will they suffer?

My heart bleeds as I hear the group of aetas express their ambitions in life. One of them wants to finish his studies so he can teach his parents to write their names and help others in their community to read and write. It is the dream of a lady to help her family be delivered from poverty. Another lady wants to be a nurse so she can serve her sick "katutubos" and help them become aware of health and safety.

I was just thinking how their dreams, their goals and aspirations be realized. At the moment still some of them don't have the needed school supplies. While some of them are already housed in some parishes, others are still looking for a place near the school that they can occupy. Their problem though does not end here...for they still have to battle and face everyday challenges in life in terms of economic, social, mental and psychological.

Maybe I need to sleep now...tomorrow will surely be another day...my wish and my dream is for a day to come that these people will be delivered from the bondage of their fate...that they will be out of misery and that they will become successful in life.

How I wish I can do more...how I wish I can address all their needs...
