dear maria,
greek mythology once inspired us lowly earthling mortals when gods were abound and found wandering our hapless territories. what can ordinary mortals do when titans clash? zeus who was boss god of olympia banished uranus and gaia, custodians of titan for some seemingly disobedient behavior unworthy of his trust.
thereafter zeus succumbed to retirement (because death is unknown to gods who were immortals) there was a vacuum and a race for new leadership wherein all who were powerful and mighty joined in a contest for superiority.
this is not a contest to be witnessed by the mortals, it was a battle of the gods and godesses of imperial olympia.
the lowly death-certain mortals will just have to wait for the winner.
in the context of philippine politics, whilst the mighty and moneyed "demi-gods" battle all throughout the country for superiority and dominion over the vanquished, juan, pedro and maria can't do anything but wait helplessly. . . however, these mortals juan, pedro and maria (according to the philippine constitution) carry with them the power to change the mighty and moneyed pseudo-gods by their right of suffrage, a protected right of every filipino mortal of legal age.
how then that there seems to be a feeling of utter helplessness and of being defenseless? who protects their right when there is violation of a constitutional right? who defends these mortals when there is a threat to violate their right?
those olympian gods are not governed by constitutions or laws made by mortals. mortals then are owned or are mere subjects, and does not carry an equal right same as the olympia dwellers of old greece.
anlayo pala natin sa mga god na ito. aping-api pa rin pala tayo kahit wala nang mga god sa olympia ngayon. eh paano na lang tayo kasi nagkukunwari din na mga god yung mga nakapwesto sa pamahalaan at ahensya ng gobyerno.
bakit naman kasi inaapi ako ng gobyerno ko? pwede bang maka pili ako ng sarili kong gobyerno? dili kaya mas maganda kung bumalik na lang ang mga gods ng olympus kasi pareho din lang na wala silang paki alam sa aming mga ordinaryong tao.
nagmamahal,
juan at pedro
ano daw? haha
