Dilemma ?

Tuesday, November 21st, 2006

What if one day you feel like the thing you’ve been doing for years becomes so boring? What if you become so tired by just thinking about it? When you go to bed, you will realize that when you wake up, you will be doing the same thing all over again.

You will think of some things to mask the reality of boredom. Make fun about certain things, but it will only result to resentment. Pretend to be excited, act as if you are happy.

What if you are not happy anymore?

Would you end it? And how can you just end it if it helps you build your future?

I wanted to stop working as a receptionist. Yet, I still need this job for my study. Deciding is really hard.

Kill Sybil

While cleaning and organizing my array of books, (you see I have this psychological disorder called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), e.g. obsessed on being organized) I hit upon a book I bought last January. It’s a psychological book entitled Sybil 1,a true story about a woman possessed by sixteen separate personalities. I haven’t read it yet because of different circumstances in work. After organizing my stuff, I started to read the book from

8pm

until

12:30am

. I just couldn’t put down the book. Anyway this is not a review about the material on its technicalities but a reflection on how it affects reality. I would not talk about the book; I’ll just give to you the substance and leave the excitement of it.

Family is an important factor in molding one’s personality. Our character is reflected from the way we were shaped and how we were educated by our parents and our environment. From that, I just realized that every individual who are going to have a child should be properly educated about Child Psychology to better understand the essential way of rearing a human person, because our parents are the first teachers from the moment our life begun. It is essential to bring not only the physical health care but also mental care in the barrios. We must also inculcate the essence of treating every people as human beings, not an animal or a thing, but as a composite of body and soul.

By understanding the human nature and essence, nourishing our minds, and pampering our hearts, we may effectively annihilate Sybil in our community.
