the language barrier is here to stay. but it does not move, it just stands in the way. what you can’t go through, try going over, or around or even under.
ang gustong basahin ng mga tao ngayon ay tagalog. ung nakaka-relate sila. pero di rin, magkaiba kasi ang vernacular sa native language. ang native language kung sa tagalog mala-florante at laura, el filibusterismo setting at walang jologs. kung baga, ibang level. syempre, iba naman ang "native" language na tutukoy sa local dialect, iba yun. kagaya ng ilokano shak, wen manen. mas interesting ang vernacular. yun ang hinahanap ng karamihan ngayon. at karaniwang dialect na gamit ay taglish. exciting. joe rizal ang makabagong writings. jologs. corny. english word naman ang "corny" diba? okay lang. pati ang "okay" english din. okay lang naman ang taglish, basta masaya at napaka-down-to-earth. ewan ko ba kung bakit maraming hate-na-hate at nakokornihan dun.
the education system of this day and age is compared to a factory where almost everything is mass produced. on the good side of it, more people attain the benefit of a satisfactory education. all of it are at the expense of the highly specialized proportion wherein it serves as an inhibition for their growth and development. as a result, skilled and gifted individuals tend to move outside of the country where a more suitable environment permits them to attain their full potential.
the problem i have with this system is that there seems to be a conflict of interest. the goals of the system is generalized and self-serving, but also does not discount the fact that my own goals are also self-serving.
in the process, it fills up an individual with too much non-essentials to a certain point wherein the interest of the same individual are set aside and not fully developed. it destroys an individual’s noble idea for a thinking of its own, the society determines what ideas are to be brought up.
this is really not the case in most ingenuous ideas to come up. they are a product of spontaneity and individual uniqueness. ironically…
"the less one speaks, the more people listen."
