Our society is experiencing a crisis of values. Nowadays, our concept of what is valuable seems closely associated to numbers we see on price tags.
The society that we have promotes a system that puts little importance on works without monetary consideration.
If this way of thinking continues to thrive on material interests, perhaps we may never see the day when we can describe ourselves as truly progressive.
This is probably the reason why we prefer going out of the country, and worse, why most of Pinoys already abroad do not see enough reason to come back.
With our country’s vast natural resources and our peoples’ skills, it seems that the only battle we are presently engaged is the one that is within us. If we can only learn to unlearn our wants, and value things that truly matters, then the war is over before we even know it.
Once again, let us revisit the challenge we set prior to leaving our country, but this time with a renewed commitment to faithfully comply with it. Let us be smart enough to realize that truly, ‘real wealthy people are those who need less.’
