To love unconditionally is not just to see through flaws and imperfections but to see the beauty in and brought about by them, not by tolerance of the inadequacies but by a simple understanding of the truth that the other person can never be like you and can never be perfect. Let love, let live.

I don't pretend to be somebody I am not. Either you take me for who and what I am or take nothing of me at all. Life is too short to be lived as others want you to live it. So long as your conscience is clear, you get to sleep at night and you're not stepping on others' shoes, there's nothing to worry about. Only HE can judge you and me.

Borrowed: the air we breathe, the life we live, the love we are given, the time we spend, everything... totally everything... so let's be thankful for each moment our heart still beats for it will never last for eternity.
Never hinder any man's hopes, dreams and aspirations for they could be their only life source. We are never in a position to stop anyone from dreaming and wanting to achieve them. To each his own. You only cease living when your brain stops functioning, your heart stops beating and your lungs stop breathing.

Ang tawong madudahon may posibilidad nga angay dudahan. Ang tinud-anay nga pag-alagad walay sukod ang paghatag og walay ganting gipaabot. Maong sa atong paghinuklog ning kinabuhia angayang hinumduman nato nga kita tawo lamang, apan kung mabuhi ta nga takos og kinasingkasing, wala'y sama ang pagpakabuhi ning kalibutana.
"A person who suspects a lot is most likely to be suspected of. Truthful service has no bounds and never expects rewards. Hence, as we contemplate on life it's apt for us to remember that we are merely human, but if we live with all our hearts and capacities, there's nothing like living life on this Earth."

Monday, April 19, 2010 at 9:52am | One of the most recent encounters I've had in the office entails the deliberation of one of my employees' termination from work. This is due to the fact that there had been client escalations pertaining to her professionalism and work ethics which resulted to mistrust on the client's side.
I am a graduate of Psychology and I used to work in a company where my duties included but did not limit to hiring and recruiting people from various walks of life for posts ranging from janitorial services, working student posts to office clerks and clinical instructors. I gave them jobs in that sort of way and helped them out with their needs indirectly.
So when I started out in the management post just about a year ago, I wasn't comfortable having to deliberate the fate of my subordinate's employment life in the company. However, that was one of the necessary things to do - having to use fair and wise judgment on things, whether it means having to remove the employee from the company even after due process has been made and when all else has been exhausted for that employee to defend himself or herself, or to keep that employee and ensure that no undesired behavior will be encountered in the future.
As managers and as leaders there are distinctions to what we can do and even limitations on our decisions no matter whose standpoint we are to follow. It is just appropriate for one to make use of the endowed faculties to create the most sound decisions with rectified actions. |

2010. This is the year when endings find their new beginnings and when people from the past resurface to form part of your now.
I find it hard to believe but one after the other they slowly popped up like mushrooms in my garden, only for me to devour and savor for a while - there for a short moment to be enjoyed with because you missed them so much you can't get enough of them but never mine for the taking.
They give you emotions you've not felt since gradeschool or highschool. They leave you hanging like a primate on a tree, besotted and light, unweary of the heavy fall if my hands, feet and tail won't be able to clasp a branch of a tree for support of dear life. They turn your world upside down and make the wrong go right. They make you smile like there will be none left in the world because you might run out any time. From ear to ear you stretch those warm gentle lips and beam your brightest happy face. You are once again up in the air, floating like clouds in the warm blue skies, suspended mid air like happy giggles from afar.
And then they leave you breathless when you are about to plummet down to Earth because you have just awaken from a great deep sleep fantasy. They were after all just for that moment and they leave only footprints in your heart, either with a scar or a tattoo, whether permanent or otherwise. Like a paved road ready for the breaking in of your new ride, they were laid out for the greater memory of it and the fun of driving life through but there was in the end a detour to that journey, and you're back to that corner from where you started.
What's just amazing is that you will never know what to expect in the twists and turns of fate. That same fate that made the first one regret not having said anything to conclude the then denouement of what could have been the love of both their lifetime - for they were so good together, they just let time and chance slip away. That same fate that led two souls together in a conivance at the wrong time and maturity. That same fate that makes one failure become another opportunity to be happy and become stronger. That same fate that makes hearts ponder on the "what ifs" of life. And that same fate that brought you to me, brought me to you, no matter what the circumstances are, no matter what people think and judge us for, no matter the distance and space, no matter the differences and growing apart.
That's just my first quarter of 2010 - a whirlpool of life's ups and downs, of love's lost and found, of fate's bitter ends and sweet beginnings, of closures and kickoffs. So, what's in store for me this second quarter? I beg you, Fate, surprise and amuse me! |

July 7, 2010 Cebu City Hall Social Hall
“Tul-iron ang hiwi, nindoton ang bati, limpyohan ang hugaw, wagtangon ang baho, hapsayon ang gubot.”
As he begins his term as Mayor of the Queen City of the South – Cebu, Mayor Michael Lopez Rama held several sessions with the employees of the Cebu City Hall starting Monday of this week, July 5, 2010. Today, on his last day of holding the orientation with the different departments of the City Government participated by almost all employees from the rank and file to the department heads and into the fourth day of his mayorship, Rama stressed out the importance of not only formulating and planning but executing well-balanced governance in the city with the empowerment of the people and the community as the first hand accountability owners of the city’s growth and progress. Being surrounded by a full-packed session with employees ranging from the early twenties to late fifties he considers himself as the Father of the City Hall family and yet he still finds time to jest about the presence of some elderly employees beyond his own age thus eliciting a hearty laugh from the crowd. He emphasized the importance of conducting the assemblies so as to allow the city government employees to have an opportunity to make queries and be informed about the new administration’s thrust in governance such that they may not have any qualms, hesitations, neither complains in the event the Human Resource office would have to impose its rules and policies strictly for the offenders. He stressed his abhorrence towards any act of corruption and public mistrust by reiterating several times in vernacular, “Di man ko gusto mukuyog og bakakon.” MLR’s Vision includes Cebu City becoming a sustainable community: 1. That will alow its constituency to help manage the resources of a growing city 2. Guarantees healthier well-being 3. Provide economic productivity 4. With dynamic, active and performing people 5. With a City Hall at your doorstep To bring back the hope of the youth and children to TRUST Government thru: Quick Quality Service Transparency Accountability! PLATFORM:
Social Services Environment Education Development Business Infrastructure Governance
3 P’s: Public Affair, People, Place
With the Inverted Pyramid in mind and the slogan “Usa Ta, Uban Ta, Kuyog Ta”
Shepherding, Servanthood, Stewardship, Overseer, Partnership
“Kung wala’y mangawat, daghang mabuhat, daghang madawat.” – This is his answer to the impending corruption that is quite evident in the building and in the system of governance, quite not isolated only to the city but also a widespread throughout the country.
Belinda Navascues, the Secretary to the Mayor and Human Resource Head – emphasized on putting the right person for the right job, ensuring that the new policies will be in place and that only quality trustful service will be duly provided

Sa kabila nang paglipas ng panahon may mga pangyayari pa rin pala sa buhay nang isang tao na hindi niya makakalimutan kahit humigit-kumulang isang dekada na ang nakaraan at marami nang mga pinagdaanang kalungkutan at kaligayahan sa mundo. May mga naudlot na pagsasamahang saka pa maitutuwid ang mga pagkakamali o mahilom ang sugat o di kaya'y magkaroon ng sinasabing pagkakasara ng mga naiwang bukas na katayuan sa pagkakaugnay ng dalawang kaluluwang batid lamang ang pagkakaibigan at pag-ibigang dalisay at wagas na hanggang sa kahuli-hulihang pagkakataon ay hinahangad pa ring mabigyan nang katuturan ang mga pangakong nabigo ng tadhana.
Sabi ng kaluluwang ligaw, bumabagabag pa rin sa saloobin niya ang mga pagkukulang niya sa nakaraan datapwat wala namang dapat punuan ang kung anumang kamaliang naganap maliban nalang sa hindi paghatid man lang nang pasintabi sa paglahong biglang di malaman kung ano ang kadahilanan. Kalaunan ay inihayag din ang tunay na nararamdaman sapagkat hindi na kayang lunukin lahat ang pasan niyang pahirap sa kaibuturan ng kanyang puso. Hindi pa pala naglaho ang taglay na pagmamalasakit at pag-irog na sa pagdaan ng panahon ay lalo lamang napunan ng bugso ng pag-asang saka-sakaling magtagpo muli ang landas nilang dalawa.
At kung sakaling ganun na nga at magtagpo, ano naman ang maaring kahihinatnan nilang dalawa na kung tutuusin ay maraming pagkakasikotsikot sa kani-kanilang mga buhay. Walang maaring mangyari sa pagtatagpong kahit mga puso ma'y gustuhin ay hindi naman nararapat at hindi dapat mabigyan ng kulay. Walang saysay. Walang pwedeng mapaghugutan nang anuman. Walang simula ni katapusan. Pero kung mayroon man, mas nararapat lang na wakasan.
Hindi pa batid ng dalawang kaluluwa ang pagtatapos ng salaysay na maaring kathang-isip lamang o maaring makatotohanan. Pero kung tutuusin, kahit na ang mga puso'y hindi na bukas sa mga palaisipang magdudulot lang ng mas nakakalalang sitwasyon hindi pa natin batid kung ang puso't isipan ay nasa iisang panig ng kuwento.
Maaari bang maitadhanang magkita muli ang dalawang kaluluwang sabik sa pagtatapos ng mala-nobelang salaysay ng kanilang dating pag-iibigan? Maaari bang mabago pa ang ihip ng hangin sa oras na magkaharap? O, mas ikakalayo ng agwat nang kanilang pagkakakilanlan sa kanilang muling pagtatagpo? Tanging si Amang Panahon lamang ang makapagsasabi.

Once again I have found the reason for not being myself today. For selfishly having had the opportunity to wreck a life apart seems not naturally me. Or was it the Thanatos lurking inside working as if I have all but selflessness to give to anyone who renders himself incapacitated because of such endearment towards me.
I consider it the most horrible sin dishonoring a man by deliberately mutilating the heart of the one person who could have possibly understood the core of my being.
Or maybe because it was never meant to be. That one person you believed can be trusted to be yours that you'll never hurt was not exactly who you thought he was to you. I believe that was the case.
No matter how I seem to put it there are irrevocable instances in life that seem to obliterate the fact of the existence of love, even if we so believe it exists and whether or not it really exists. Put it in terms of trust and the apparent lack and loss thereof. Once trust is broken it is definitely hard to gain it back. But the reaction of man towards the situation is somehow what counts. There could either be a positive or negative reaction elicited out of a given stimuli. It is only then a matter of choice.
I guess the difference between man and animal is our capacity to react to certain situations in a more rational distinctively human way. We think first before we act. We keep our cool. We don't dive into our instincts and easily pick a fight. We try to segregate the pros and cons, the negatives and positives of our succeeding actions, even our next thought processes after a fact. We try to think of another person as if we were in their shoes. However, in reality, only a few of us humans practice this.
Sometimes we do not seem to bother thinking first for as long as we exercise our freedom of expression. We let our tongue do the lashing. We want instant ultimate response given whether for revenge or for the sake of having something to say or something done. So then at times we let our responses be as unguarded and uncensored as possible just because we wanted to be able to let ourselves and egg out that anticipated reaction to a cause.
However it is we respond somehow shows what and who we are as a person. Whether we act calmly and try to process the situation first in our heads like as if we were not affected the first instance and then react when all the emotions have subsided and be a more rational being when we do so, or do the other way. Little do we know that when we have become impulsive and have reacted instantaneously we could have already stepped on someone's persona and ego. If we flare up like we normally do, we only intensify the commotion and add fuel to the fire. It only adds up to the negative emotions. Too bad not every one of us has that control over our own selves, our own emotions. And when we come to realize that damage has been done, it's already over, irreparable, irrevocable.

Beep-beep! There goes my phone again! Seems it's been a little busy with the network these past days with incoming and outgoing messages leaving every few minutes to every couple of hours at least in a day. Thank God for cellular phones!!! :)
Whew! I never knew one get-together could stir an old friendship back to life. Old friendship is what it can be considered as after 14 years of dormancy! Lol! Imagine not having seen each for that long and when you're back it's as if you're twelve or thirteen again! Make it thirteen for it sounds more officially teenager-like! :) At least I could still recall how fond our batch was of each other and they have more stored memories in their brainy sac than mine, so care to delve into their bits and pieces of the past I may. :)
Remember the musical partner back in 5th grade, who, by chance grew up to be taller and broader than you today? Hmm....sounds and looks familiar! How about the inkling of a child whom you remember to have had the funniest hard-to-forget face in 4th grade because of his general lack of hygiene, which still irks you to this very moment? :) :) :) What about how he's grown up to have two very cute kids from different moms? LOL! How about the seemingly frail and petite morena whose shyness you could mistake for meekness back in 5th grade but eventually overturned us literally upside-down with her funny antics that every guy and girl would crack a hearty laugh at her??? :) :) And how about calling your classmate by another family name because it sounded familiar and closely related to one of the people you know to have the same name as his from your company??:P
Yeah, yeah, apparently despite the somewhat malformed deviant lives (pun intended) you and your friends spent in the past fourteen years it doesn't seem to matter at all. The only solid bond that ties you to them is the fact that you accept them for who or what they are as you wish to be accepted by them as well and that there is friendship among others. Many things may have changed but one thing remains the same - we still become kids in the presence of our childhood friends.
Same is true with our dear doh, whose fondness I recall to be very puppyish and fantasy-filled with fascinations of teenage crushes and childhood romances. Wow, imagine being a grader and being frivolously besotted to the point of burning telephone wires for the then-fad "telebabad"??? :) :) :) Imagine being this old and being flimsy at the sound of text messages, can you? :) Fidgety to even open the inbox to see if there was a sweet nothing for no one from no one. Smiling at the very edge of my seat just to anticipate a little something something. :) These are but one of the many reasons to smile indeed.
So, it's almost daybreak and I'm again awaiting the rush of beeps on my phone. Will it be another "good morning" or another hopeless anticipation? :) So looking forward to another lunch soiree and chit chats of what not. So looking forward for my reason to smile. :)

It's almost as if there had been no time to think whether or not there was going to be adieu, but the coming and passing was as swift as a blink of an eye. For a moment there I held you in my arms and you were mine, but after a split second you are somebody else's property. It was as if I was only to taste the icing and not the cake. So much for the anticipation, so much for the wait.
Whether ten years or four, whether legitimate or illegitimate, whether promises broken or promises not made, whether strong or weak, whether worthy or unworthy, whether you or me, whether meant to be or not, whether deliberate or fortuitous, love was not a bond strong enough to endure what we consider the most obdurate of all obstacles the belie in our little lives knotted by our false hopes and aspirations - our wishful thinkings and huge dreams of what could be. It was never suited, never meant, never fit.
And so, as we live our lives one more breath longer each passing second of the day, I stand still in the midst of this confusion, allowing everything to permeate my senses, my divination and humanity. I take it all in, knowing you and I, you and I can never be together in this lifetime and beyond.
That finite denouement of what could be the most dramatical of all life tales I have known has finally become known. I say that after all else has gone, what's left is your own soul to look after and another day to look forward to, maybe breathing, maybe not.
To you, for you, and you, my greatest gratitude I leave, for the years and years of tears and laughter, of hopes and doubts, of wishes and realities, of pain and sweetness, of love and hate, of rebirth and death. An applause cannot suffice my gratitude for you.
As I bid adieu, you and your memories I take all in in that bittersweet precipice of everlasting yet dying love. Goodbye my love, farewell. Goodbye, my Love. Goodbye.

"just as the rain precipitates into thin air, you will only become a figment of my imagination"
These are exactly my thoughts for you today. Just because there were feelings doesn't mean they cannot wilt into nothing all of a sudden. To put things bluntly, they actually can and then nothing will be remembered about you, of you and with you in the passing of time, such that your existence will never be known ever. This might take time and it could be longer than expected but it will be something I will be willing to go through just to forget you. Thank you for the memories. They will only last until the rain stops and once it has, there will only be better days.

If you allow people to dictate how you live your life then you have not lived it, they have. Do not be a puppet on a string, do not be a passenger on a ship, be the master and captain of your life... and don't let perpetrators ruin your one chance to live your life fully. Remember that those that try to pull your spirits down are only unnecessary vexations in life, they do not matter.
There had been instances when people you seem to know but do not know you tend to test your strength and ability to hold up. Making up stories about the person you are not and spreading the news like wildfire making them known to every single person just so they could get the others' confidence and trust. Or maybe they just wanted to irk you to unearth the whole truth when you freak out knowing a false rumor has been all around and you were the last person to know. It's called tactics. It's called information manipulation. It's called gossip. It's called work-of-a-person-who-has-no-life-of-his-own.
Indeed pathetically sounding but obviously abundant in nature, especially amongst people who live busy lives or pretend to have their hands full. Also true amongst men and women who have motives to climb up the ladder and just simply want to pull people down in fear of losing their most preciously coveted throne in society. In other words, crab mentality. Remember the crabs in the basket?
I have lived twenty seven long years on this Earth and by chance of luck have gone through some grueling experiences with people of such character. I have learned my lesson well in college to get affected. I am not after all just a psycho major graduate for nothing. So these mind games cannot alter my perceptions and convictions. Here are my thoughts and analysis then.
As a shrink would put it, the behavior is called "superiority complex" whereby a human being with predominant characteristics of some if not all of the above-mentioned personality traits are manifesting the tendencies to become self-over-indulgent, egocentric, manipulative (of information, peers, family, colleagues, etc.), unnecessary paranoia leading to false notions and downright conclusions over things, actions and pieces of information, with the deliberate intent to exalt one's self into the pedestal or hierarchy of things, and the ability to make all things that are in his way as minuscule and insignificant in comparison to his stature. Manifestations of this type of neuro-psychosis includes but is not limited to verbally elevating oneself in midst of peers groups or in any possible interaction between two or more people with the tendencies to insinuate others are of lesser ability and/or value than himself, mockery, bullying and pinning down of others, amongst many.
As Wikipedia puts it, Superiority complex refers to a subconscious neurotic mechanism of compensation developed by the individual as a result of feelings of inferiority. The feelings of inferiority in this specific complex are often brought on by real or perceived social rejection. So then, this stems from the feelings of either a realistic case of rejection of that said individual possessing this defense mechanism or just a paranoia in the mind. Often times this roots back to the earlier years in a person's life wherein a specific occurrence of rejection from family or friends may have taken place. A grandfather who may have iterated how poorly one was in comparison to his siblings or a father's consistent and condescending disapproval of the child's deeds resulting to reprimand or castigation. This is also possible and true even in the school setting, wherein a person could have been bullied by peers through verbal or physical assault. What is then therefore our present is just a manifestation of our past.
Then it boils down to how our consciousness overrides our subconsciousness and unconsciousness. If our adult selves allow for these primordial experiences to lead us on to living our current lives in retribution and vengeance then we do have the tendencies to impose the same fear and manipulation on others just as we have experienced them. It's called passing on. It's called not getting over the past. It's called fixation. But if we have the conscious effort to make our lives better than it was before then this is not an occurrence we expect to see today. It's called moving on. It's called letting go.
However people may take it, whether clinically as a diagnosis or personally as insinuation, we all have our alter egos with this archetypal defense mechanism which systematically shields our persona's in various ways. Whether for good or bad, we possess these traits somehow. Lucky for those who know how to control it and use it for the good and only for benefit of the many, but for those who's alter egos have overridden their conscious systems, it is already their way of life. It's already their pseudo-techniques in coping with the demands and stresses of life, passing it on to others so they may feel the same.
I pity the latter. For they have lost their own true selves to that of their other selves. Whether bound by selfish motivations and quest for power and exultation, or by false means of justification of their deeds, they have succumbed to the pits of the game. They have just plainly become players. Or maybe this is really their true self, the one which is innate of the system. Then, let them play. We'll be spectators.

I wish and pray it in my heart that people learn from the mistakes of trusting the wrong persons and neglecting those who do good, because it is my contrite lifelong yearning. These people may not be the best in words neither the best in deeds but they are the kindest in hearts, the purest of spirits, and the sincerest in intentions. It is just so unfortunate that even the simplest gratitude cannot be shown to them because they are the minutest of all creatures in the eyes of the beholder. The beholder may have good motives but the means to an end does not seem to be justifiable enough. I weep for them. For those whose words are hardly ever heard because the thundering voice of the elders have struck more sound on the beholder's eardrums, I pity them. For the minority who cannot seem to bump a chair because the elders have moved mountains long before, I feel for them. For those who have longed for justice but was not served it, I empathize with them. These are the worst things that can happen to you, when you are either too meek to speak out your thought, let alone to defy what you believe is wrong. You become part of the singled-out lists of traitors, militants and rebels, excruciatingly magnified through microscopic lenses to unearth your flaws against you. This is what happens when you belong in a society of corrupt moral practices and misled governance that seek to flourish and permeate one's innocent mind and destroy your own values. Elders seek to ruin you inside out, push you down than pull you up, cast stones on you until you give up. I do not wish to belong to that society. I do not wish to partake in a banquet full of treachery and lies. I can only think of one way to rid myself such useless agony of trying to be part of the whole when some parts seem bigger than the whole itself. I only wish out.

The search for the inevitable never ceases for as long as one breathes. The certainty of an answer lies in the hands of time and fate – one truly unfathomable to the point of anxious wait. When others perceive the circumstance a folly and useless pursuit of selfish gains there lays one soul whose tremendous heart is full of heaving hope and endless longing that fires up his being for that one true love few who walked this earth have ever found. His quest for the love immortal moves on as his journey never ends. The long wait has just begun and the brave soul prepares for the ride of his life.

For the countless unwritten thoughts in our hearts and unspoken word from our hearts nothing could ever be painful as the pent up emotions stuck somewhere in your aorta or in between your atria and valves, hindering the normal flow of blood and its circulation within the body, causing chest pains and mild loss of consciousness as the brain suffers the loss of precious oxygen in the process. What has physiology got to do with any of these? Nothing really, except for when tear ducts can no longer hold the fluids which they contain, therefore releasing them in a form of water droplets to the beat of a woman’s sobs and heartaches. The body seems to be reacting to the emotions or maybe not. Maybe the body brings out the emotions or is it just the mind? Remember how the brain is the seat of all emotions and thought processes, some part of it called hippocampus, and then therefore it is not the heart that makes us cry when in pain, that which we call weak for when we’re in love but the brain! Just like when in a situation that calls for tears to fall, if you only think hard enough and analyze critically the scenario, you have a conscious option to cry or not to, such that if you do cry it is not the heart that dictates it because you feel the pain but it is in fact the brain! Puzzling isn’t it? Such is the wonder of the human body, the complexity in which we live and the nature of our ways that still amazes us to this day.

The frenzied life that had taken over my last couple of weeks required that I take at least a day of my weekend off from work in the hands of an expert in hair care! Well yeah, I deserve that don't I?
It's been like three months since I've had someone touch my hair for treatment, thanks to Jonas Borces, whose shop can be located in Bacayan, Talamban, and yes, my crowning glory needed another chance at boosting its supposedly-wonder-luster! What a shame! I've been quite lazy myself to even visit the ever helpful salon for even a quick foot spa these days.
A little over a year after my stint with MBK (Maayong Buntag Kapamilya on ABS-CBN Cebu), I grew a bit weary and yet complacent about keeping up with the way I look in person and on cam. I'd really wish that work did not have to require so much attention to the littlest details of how one person looks, like as if I'd really care. LOL! It won't be a surprise if you see me clad in jeans and shirt or in shorts and tank tops with flipflops even in malls simply because that's the most comfortable mode of dressing for me, apart from my latest fad of donning skirts in the office of late.
However, I woke up one day looking frantically concerned about my drying hair tips and growing-out-of -nowhere baby hair! My instincts told me I had to do something about it lest I'd want something seriously bad to happen to my mane. So, time for me to head to the nearest one-stop-shop for your beauty needs - Jun Esma Salon!
Alas! It was right timing when I found the shop with only a few patrons getting their delighted services from the able and courteous staff. Only a few minutes had gone by and it was already my turn to hit the chair and all I had to do was sit back, relax and enjoy the rejuvenating foot spa and pedicure while my hair was being treated for "upshine." Oh, what a delight! In a matter of hours I was done and I felt much livelier, not to mention feeling lovelier with the gloss and health revived back into my hair. What a relief!
I headed to the nearest coffee shop to do my thing on here and waited for time to wear me out with a tall glass of chocolate chip froccino. Heaven! And so goes my little Sunday escapade, all by myself but never alone.
My special thanks to Sir Jun Esma and his pleasing staff - Joseph and company, for having made my few hours stay lovely! His shop is located in Banilad, Cebu City right infront of Jollibee Banilad. You won't miss it for the big signage atop his building!
Happy weekend!!!

A Tribute to You Who Speaks of Evil...
In this world where everyone doubts or hates everyone else there is no question people would doubt or hate you. Not only because you are not what they expect you to be but sometimes you get into their nerves for just being around them and being who you are.
You are that pesky little brat who wants to prove himself right at all times and prove others wrong. You thrive in the failure and defeat of others. You dwell in their miseries for they become your source of merriment and victory. You are that one source of doom in people whose lives are governed by your tyranny. You evoke mutiny on all lands that you tread.
You are the evil that destroys all that is good. Your wretchedness spreads in the midst of the colony like disease lurking in our biological system. You are that virus in a pill that supposedly treats the illness. You are a pathological mess and though you know it you deny it and rejoice in that knowledge! You are sick for you are sickness itself.
How could you aim at ruining other people´s lives when you have a life of your own to devastate? How could you pick on other´s backyard when you have a mess of your own you haven´t fixed?
Too bad not a lot may have noticed the corruption from within you. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe many have known but are too afraid to come out because of the influence you have on some prominent others. Or maybe because of your tongue you lash out at people just almost everywhere you go and at every spot you see in your own eyes as erroneous.
Truly no matter how despicable you are you still seemed to be all-knowing and goody with just a select few - those who fear you enough not to oppose you or probably those who know you too well to tolerate you and let you be or those who were convinced by your gift of gab and supposed sensibility.
As for the many that do not believe in you or are not all-too-willing to be persuaded by your arrogant intellect, I guess they shrug it off casually and let you pass them by. Your words will not mar them, nor malign their lives. You will be an insignificant thorn in their way, only to prick them for a while and cause a drop of blood but nothing more. You will be a mere flu to be rid of with medication and prevented with shots, a foreign object in the air passage to be sneezed out, a toxic waste to be expelled from the body, a foul bolus of foodstuff to be vomited, nothing more.
Though they will not belittle you for who you are, they will not allow you to vilify them nonetheless. This is the word of the many, those whom you punctured minutely, as an act of tribute to the being that has in one way or another caused a percussion of unnatural preventable events just because you have unnecessarily intervened.
Henceforth, thou shalt not speak of evil; thou shalt not speak of you.
