Events of the past few weeks have bothered much serious thinking on the state of the country, and how much the state of the country, for that matter-decisively depends on the moral fiber of its men. Crimes, not just ordinary, not worthless, but the greater number hellish are perpetrated almost everyday. Forgetting, if we possibly can, the obscene details of the dilemma we Filipinos presently find ourselves in and skipping the abrupt causes of the present obstacles of the country like rape, rape with murder, kidnapping, robbery and other related crime actions.
These are clear evidences and manifestations that we are not stabled to internalized the moral values that we know within us. We cannot help but come to the conclusion that our present problems are basically and essentially the results of a general disintegration in the character, not only of particular key people, but in the general character of the people. Our people have no self-respect and discipline so then nothing good happens to us. But what is wrong with with us, is we do not put these values- honesty, punctuality, obedience, cleanliness, thrift, reverence, integrity, honor, reputation and many more practice. Internalizing values is a must for every one. We can keep away from vices, we will avoid committing crimes of whatever disposition if we have values. We cannot forbid our country is abundant and rich with natural resources. Yet our country and our people remain impoverished. There is no immediate solution. It will take decades of dedicated and well-planned effort to re-educated our people. For instance, we want to get rich without sweating it out. We want riches and promotion without exerting too much effort and labor. We want to be leaders even if we are not competent and adequate. Yes, and very true. We are only good in lip service but never in deeds.
The moral values will be meaningless and useless if we do not apply them to our daily lives. Hence, it is a must for every one to internalize moral values. We should start right away NOW! All of us must renew our commitment to ourselves and faster and greater nation building. Hopefully, we shall live long enough to see some good results of our efforts. We should start today-NOW!
