Blog EntryCOMPLAIN LESS. GIVE MORE.Apr 6, '08 8:33 AM
for everyone

 

 

This is a forwarded message from Maita M. This isn’t intended to put the kids under scrutiny or humiliation, or make someone charge me wd libel for exposing the pics…

 

these children don’t need your pity. Wala yung magagawa-- unless you decide to do a charity or offer them something. Magjoin kau ng cradle for example or any children’s advocate group.

 

The message, however, is to help you  (and me) put things into perspective. I hope it’ll do. Salamat.

Subject: WOW - this makes you put things into perspective

 

 

ARE you still complaining?

 

Count your blessings. Natamaan ka ‘no? ako din e. after posting the thing about cake.. (see my previous blog. Those with pics of cake.) wowh…  made me pause and think… it's been in my inbox for like months already.. ngaun lang ulit nakita.

 

“We are fortunate that we have much more that we need to be content. Let’s try not to feed this endless cycle of consumerism and “immorality” in which this “modern and advanced” society forgets and ignores the other 2/3s of other brothers and sisters.”--- mail sender

anyway nakita ko na yan dati. naiinis ako pag nakakakuha ako ng ganitong mga pa-feel-good/righteous powerpoint presentation emails. somehow i don't really approve of this photographic strategy to make us middle-class people feel good about our class standing. hehe. it's really just designed to make us pity the poor and be "thankful" that we're better off. Besides, the notion of being "blessed" here merely mystifies the social forces which places us in our current un/comfortable positions. Diba? After reading this you'd just realize that there are really miserable people but won't really get an idea why this is so--and what we have to do about it.

hehehe. :)

oo. feel good.. kaya walang dissent masyado sa group (middle class ) na 'to. however kuya carl, i think this ppt presentations that you don't like can be at times effective. diffrent appeal to diffrent set of pipol. sau, u didnt like it. pero i think to some, it rily could change something. lalo n ung way way higher status pipol na dapat na target tlg ng message na to.

i intend these for brats... sa mga walang pakundangan sa pagdedemand ng materyal na bagay habang ang iba ay... (actually sana lang it could somehow move them) at mahilig magreklamo. kaso oo nga. ang implication nito ay submission to complacency katulad nga ng iyong pananaw...
