Bye again
My family’s gone again. I haven’t received any message from them yet but I hope the flight went well yesterday. Right now, I can really do nothing to change the state of our family. I know I had repeatedly mentioned this in this blog.
I don’t like the way things happening around my family - with my dad, mom and sisters abroad, and my brother and I left here in the Philippines under the care of relatives. Anyway, who would? I hoped to be mature in understanding things related to my family’s income source. But it still bugs time to time…
I don’t know what they value. That’s what bugs me big time. Primarily, it should be the children’s education. But it puzzles me whenever they push my sisters into taking Nursing in college. I do not de-value the profession. The issue here are my sisters’ own dreams. My parents (more specifically) don’t seem to include that aspect when making decisions. In both direct and indirect ways, they’ve brainwashed them into thinking that “becoming a nurse could bring them abroad, probably to States, and it would make us rich”. I’ve always hated the idea working just to “get rich”.
Perhaps they do value money. But for chris’sake, it’s not the most important thing in the world. People die. Money is not worth investing your lives in.
You should invest in freedom. Freedom, you know, matrix movie stuff. ![]()
