I have always been told that the world is not a safe place, and that you should not trust anyone in it. But I choose to be optimistic about it. I believe we live in a world full of promise and potential. There are lots of resources and useful materials people use to make life on earth bearable. Humans can find ways to make things work like no other organism on earth can. Unfortunately, we have different motivations and different wants in life. This is why there is an endless struggle for power. Talented people waste their lives striving for more, when they could just settle for less and make the world a better place to live in. The world is a place of very promising and giving people, but a malignant disease envelops them. The daunting task of my generation is to take all of this negativity and act. As of now though, I am not so sure I can.
Who am I to the world, I sometimes catch myself asking. Why must I care about it? I am a minute individual with absolutely no control over what will happen to it. But then again, I am one who can start the fire. The only reason why there isn’t any progress in this world is because the good people just stand by and do nothing while the evil men are just left to their own devices. I know I do not know much about how the world is, and I am just a Filipino who is taking up a Sociology and Anthropology class in the Ateneo, but I feel I should know more. I do not want to grow up making the same mistakes everyone does. I do not want to be common in the eyes of people who know me. I want to stand out and really mean something to this world. As of now, I don’t really know how. But I will learn new things, and eventually will do something that will shape the course of history, no matter how small.
