Unfortunate

Sometimes, I feel sad when we think of how fortunate we are by comparing ourselves to those who's less fortunate... I feel bad. Just to feel and realize how blessed we are, we tend to see others suffering. Do you ever feel that way sometimes? Most of the times I make fun of it... especially the "PILAY story".. for those who knows me... and the story you know what I mean... though I feel sad after making fun of the pilay story. Its not that I dislike the disable....

It human nature I guess, but its awful. Whenever I friend of mine would say that they are sad or got this gazillion problems in life or they just dont know what to wear for tonights party... I would always bring this up by starting with "Isipin mo nga yung pilay... inde nakakapag medyas..." and there will it start a funny, wicked conversation... But in the end of it all, its sad. 

In reality we appreciate what we have for moment whenever we hear a sad story of someone from someone or watched a tragic situation in Maala Ala mo kaya or Magpakailan Man. Maybe that is the reason why we Filipinos love it, the drama to compare our current situation to others. We pity them and afterwards iisipin natin na "Maswerte pa din tayo... yun nga iniwan ng asawa...or nabaon sa utang at wow hanep naka pangasawa ng puti, nakaahon sa utang..." Then this situation and story brings us hope, don't you think?

Whenever we feel helpless and seems no solution to anything else we think of those Unfortunate Ones... but it would be best to be thankful everyday that we are blessed and not to compare ourselves to them. 

Or maybe this is reality?
