Just a thought, nothing more!
By Hernor M. de Asis
Time to repent,
a time
for real bliss
When Christ suffered for our sins, we’re
so busy making some additional. Still, people are insensitive and ungrateful;
the world can’t afford another Messiah to carry the cross and wear a crown full
of thorns just to save us from damnation. Nowadays, no man with a healthy mind
can offer such sufferings since we’re becoming self-centered inch by inch as the
days go by.
Lenten season is the best time to meditate
over our wrong deeds and misbehaviors, a time to repent and acknowledge
Christ’s selfless sacrifices and love for mankind. But instead of recognizing
Christ’s Holy effort, we can see people loitering in the streets, blubbering
tittle-tattles and nonsense buzzes that consume most of their time, activities
that are so idle, worthless, and can even become sources of conflict. A piece
of advice, try to visit the church, listen to a priest’s sermon and the Holy
Gospel, it’s quite a realization of your purpose as a person. A mature person
is someone who is already enlightened about his worth and purpose. However,
most people are still childish and they act like toddlers craving for some milk
in a bottle.

We tend to enjoy our remaining days with
extravagant socializations; we fill different bars with oozing liquors and
foggy smoke of cigarettes, though your reason seems like a malfunctioned
tape-recorder that keeps on playing, “I just want to be happy and there’s
nothing wrong about being happy!” I must admit it isn’t bad to be glad, but let
us try to define what true happiness is. Will you call that happiness that will
last only for a few hours? I guess not.
This season is not for a half-baked joy,
it does not call for a party and mostly it’s not for lovers though I’ve seen
lots of love birds in parks dating. Oh come on! You must hold your tension! I’m
not playing as good Christian here, and I’m not minding other business, it is
just that we should observe what we should observe for the sake of our dying
religion. Yes, we tampered faith by false happiness. We tend to choose joy than
to sacrifice. Real happiness means having a healthy soul.
We should start cleaning our souls by
draining all our dark intentions and pouring it to the basins of the Neverland
and Paradise of Long Forgone.
Everything is set for a right place and for a
right time, so is real bliss.
