How far will you go for your belief?

EDUCATION, PHILOSOPHY, POETRY?

Education, Philosophy, and Poetry were packed in a Colloquium, hosted by a poet himself Lau Denmark de Camorra. Honestly I was very much interested in listening with the conversation of LD and Mr. Fajarillo, famously known as Sir Jay. The discussion was going smoothly when suddenly Maam Virgie held the microphone and asked the man of philosophy of his own philosophy in life, and it’s funny how he was not able to provide us with an answer knowing that he himself knows so much about other people’s philosophy, and surprisingly he doesn’t or maybe he has forgotten his own belief. Well I have nothing against the speaker honestly, I even find him smart and genuine actually. But I strongly believe that man is never a man without a philosophy in life. Because a belief in life is what a man needs to help him surpass everything that will come along his journey.

Just the way a teacher could survive his/her teaching world. Well I am pretty sure it doesn’t take a teacher to know how hard it is to become one, only they are better in telling it. And this exactly was what Mrs. Luna shared to us. She couldn’t help but tell us how it is to become a mother, and a teacher to everyone. And upon hearing her stories I couldn’t help but admire teachers, Because they not only share with us their knowledge, but they are also willing to give us their life. So to all the teachers, I thank and salute you all for continuously loving and educating us.

A sharing of a teacher’s life to his students is a proof that No man is an island, therefore man is a social being, but this is not quite true for Mr LD”s best friend and co-writer. His way of surviving boredom and insanity is through poem writing. He said that most of his poems talks about himself, and he uses these compositions to inspire others. Poems are surely one form of expression, which is why they are called a reflection of the writer. I haven’t read any of the speaker’s writings yet, and since he left me curious, maybe il find time to read some of his poems one of this days.

Well the three speakers are of different tracks but one thing is for sure. They chose to be there because they firmly stand in what they believe in.
