Today, I woke up to read a message I didn't want to read. It was the beginning of the worst day ever. Stood up. Walked to my dad's lazy boy, sat down, and thought about what to reply to that message. (No one will understand what the hell I'm talking about.)
Walking into the train, I brushed my way through to find a seat. Minutes later, I found myself in deep thought. Since I did get annoyed at what I was thinking of, I realized something as I observed my surroundings. Everyone was silent.
Complete utter silence.
No matter how loud the outside "world" was, the train delivered silence pretty loudly.
I wonder why they were all so quiet. I mean, it was because they were alone and they had no one to talk to. I saw a few couples together, and they were all quiet as well. Nothing to talk about? I doubt it. I'm sure they had a lot in mind.
What did they have in mind?
A few things crossed my mind about that. Could it be that the economic status of the Philippines has brought the civilians to their lowest point in their lives? Money. Money.
Money.
Money.
That's the only reason why people work. It's the only reason why, people strive. Success? What's that all about? Money.
We have a whole EDUCATION SYSTEM built for MONEY. BUSINESS: ACCOUNTING (and I'm not just saying this because I despise accounting), FINANCE, ECONOMICS... and it just goes on.
CORRUPTION. How did that word come about? Money.
We live for MONEY. Greed? What the heck.
But because of MONEY, we learn to love, respect and to be honest. Not all, but some. Some that will teach more about what it takes to be noble.
Nobility.
Silence in train comes down to that.
