When we speak of leadership, lets start with Alexander the
Great, Shi Huang Di, then Julius Caesar, then Napoleon Bonaparte, then Abraham
Lincoln, then Joseph Stalin, Theodore Roosevelt and lets include Hirohito,
Hitler and Mao Zedong. Let's put Syngman Rhee, Lee Kuan Yew, Ferdinand Marcos,
Putin, Obama and Xi Jinping on this list. All of them share a kind of
leadership unique to their time and were concluded of either bad or good base
on different perspectives. However, they made a mark (and making a mark) in the
history and helped forming the civilization thus influenced the leaders to
come. Those leaders who were mostly ruthless, immoral and "without
manners" but bad ass helped founding wealthy and progressive countries in
Europe, Asia and America. Philippines was once included on those countries not
until they banned the concept of true leadership and embraced the moralist
approach on running the government which taught by the church.
Church which is filled with extreme politics, corruption and
lies which has been running for 2000 years now is responsible for this misery.
You may say that I dont respect the church at this point and I will respect
your judgement cause we're different. It seems like we only use respect when
there are differences and since church is not different with our government,
and Im a citizen and a taxpayer, I dont give a sh*t, I won't respect the
church.
Its 2015 and we're still slave of extreme fanaticism
disguising as being religious or being son of god which makes us think that
we're moralist. Should I use "iron hand" on enforcing the law? Nah,
this is Philippines. Use that somewhere else, we're moralist here and that's
against the God's will. People here don't like violence...coz violence
kills...but were dying from starvation, poverty (and traffic condition will
kill us soon). Rizal agreed that tomorrow will come and Philippines will be
alleviated from this dreadful situation once one of these youth which he called
as "hope" rises up and leads this country. I would say..."Its
been a long day Lolo Rizal. I'm not sure if its the tomorrow that were missing
or the leader that you are pertaining to."
I rest my case.
