at the start of the school year 2008-2009, i was very excited to enroll the subject philosophy knowing that it is the course taken by priest-wanna-bes . it never occurred in my mind that philosophy would unravel before me the potentiality of my being as a human person. i have never thought of philosophy as the systematic study of all beings in their ultimate causes and principles by the use of human reason alone. i have never pondered about the fact that we are all philosophers because all human persons are thinking beings. and the only resume needed for being a philosopher is human reason. however i was very sad when i found out that only few persons are taking up this course. most of the schools are now closing the philosophy classrooms. it is because a philosopher becomes a tambay after receiving his/her diploma. a philosopher ends up teaching in schools where they get the average salary.
sabi nila repetition is the proof of understanding.. sino bang toklats ang nagsabi nun? tama nga naman. pero, hindi indicated dun na repetition na word-by-word. sa reasoning pa rin ako saludo! thinking. reasoning. ito ang nagbibigay ng kaluluwa sa mga ideya ng isang studyante. magagawa ng isang studyante na matapos ang pagaaral ng hindi ito gamitin, pero naging tapat nga ba siya sa tawag ng liwanag, ng talino, ng dignidad ng tao - ang pagiisip? sa aking reliazation na ito, sana nawa ay maisip ko na mahalaga ang mga exams na ito at hindi magrason ng magrason na me mga bagay na hindi importante at not-worth-studying subjects.. pinagaaral ako ng mga magulang ko at wasto lamang na bigyan ko ang dignidad ng kanilang paghihirap sa pagbibigay ng lahat ng aking makakaya ang mga exams na ito. sinapak nanaman ako ng pananaw ng nanay ko..
