Children are our hope

It might be known for us all that the hope for the future is the youth. Considerably, we might like to change the “hope” into something deeper – perhaps the triumph of the future. We can’t stay along with hope only. Shouldn’t we be the achievement of the betterment of the future? To further explain what it is all about, let us consider this: Filipino citizens undeniably consider Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s phrase, “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.” In English, we would literally translate it into, “The youth is the hope of the community.” Unfortunately, we tend to forget that the phrase mentioned was stated years back. We can’t stay along with what’s made from the past. We should focus about what’s going on in the present; it was a considerable thing that it occurred to us to be a stepping stone for our improvement. The youth must be known to be the REASON –not just hope or “pag-asa” we usually quote for- of the future. We are the actual reason why some issues have gone this far. When we contemplate the recent activities, the outstanding professionals we know are the youths of yesterday. They were the reason why a lot of integral innovations were made. The future they consider is what exists today. The people from the past brought us the “future” preferences.
We are aware that the world is changing, right? Consequently, we do not usually notice the essential reasons or causes why it changes. We tend to advert at the effect or the change. It’s like a “delta” in most sciences, which means “change” in Greek language. Since we are currently living in another generation -after the Baroque, Classic, Romantic Periods- or the 21st century, we can’t seem to forget and compare the difference between the past and in the present. We compare what “before” people implement and what “after” people did. It is somehow can be done in mathematics; we subtract the total advancements from the era before from the total advancements from the latter era. The “difference” would reach thousands, which was estimated. It’s like: advancements from the present – advancements from the past = estimated 1,000+.
Optimistically, we have a lot of innovations from the technological society today. In life, we have five things to consider: food, shelter, clothing, transportation, and communication. We can name hundreds of upgrades from those things. Food, for its new preservatives; Shelter, with logical security cameras and lock; Clothing, artificial and improved synthetic fiber was used; Transportation, electric cars and motors; Communication, cellular phones with touch pads. Those are one of the examples which have continued our existence in life. These are the things used for the betterment of the country’s economy, industry and public relations. These were the products of the young people’s ideas from the past which were brought into reality.
Let us try and avoid committing such unimaginable things. Sometimes, we have to think whether things are done wrongly or rightly. We have consciences we don’t come up and realize. We are not the hope of the community but the reason for the community. It is in our hands to decide whether we let this “chaos” destroy our stepping stone and prove to the world that we are the GOOD REASON of the community’s improvement.
