While I was busy doing so much
things for nation-building, I saw this beehive hanging under the tree. I wonder how
the insects did that. When I had the opportunity to ask it with my fellow
nation-builder, he just simply said it’s innate in them to come up with
something based on their ends.
Do they need to have a concrete
plan before constructing it? Do they need to communicate verbally to come up
with an end? How ironic isn’t it? Note that they also do have a leader who
directs them with clear path and goal. We
are blessed that we are the highest form of animals and yet we still have to do
some sort of planning and instructions to really explain what are the thoughts
in our mind to achieve our end. How I wish people were blessed of the same behaviour.
One thing I noticed with the
people nowadays, we lack vision on how things will work. We lack vision about
our ends, that's why we lean on plans, we keep on finding for perfect plans for
us to MOVE ON and if that plans fail, we give up. Maybe I’m used to it. Maybe I’m
one of those who have least care about perfect plans before execution but I
must insist. I believe those are one of the basic principles a leader must
possess, strategic planning, but remember we must acknowledge the vision, for
this vision teaches us to carry on and never stop despite a certain plan fails.
They say people are naturally
selfish and this is the reason why traditional politics exist. People live not
for the common end but for their own behalf. People need to argue and talk to
defend what they think is right that has been taken for granted. People need to
provide for so concrete plan for a certain end to commence. People do not need
a leader to begin. People do not need leaders because they do not believe and
because they let the system become untrustworthy. People now are insensitive
about what other feels. People are now apathetic because we fear and do not trust
each other, because we accepted the current paradigm. And so, we are stagnant.
We are not moving on. Yes, people are so intelligent enough and we even have
forgotten the simple and very reason why we are here on earth. People are
selfish ‘coz if not, this world would not be the same as it is
How amazing God is for He designed
it for these creatures despite they do not have enough organ system to
appreciate the beauty of this world. How lucky I am because I have more than
organ systems to enjoy the beauty of this world and to learn from their simple
symbiosis. They are designed as stewards of these wonderful creations and so
are we, humans with the knowledge vested in us.
If people do have the same
behaviour, how wonderful this world can be. If we just know how to listen to
what our heart says and listen to what this world needs, if we could just know
how to acknowledge the common end amongst us, and if we could just let our
vision in our mind and heart, things and life would be as wonderful as how God
designed it.
Life is indeed a simple cycle.
Elders are right with their saying “Pahiram lamang sa atin ang mundong ito” so
we should take care of it and restore for the next generations to come. Let us
change the paradigm with all the means we’ve got and fill the world with
different colors and start it within ourselves. Begin with an end in mind and
live like the ants and the bees, they might be deaf and blind, but they use
their heart to communicate to achieve their common end.
