Some of us wonder why we live a life of service to others and service to self has been a second fiddle, always on the sidelines. As a kid at five to twelve, every time our playmate ask for something, anything, I run home to get what he desires. We find happiness, satisfaction and deep fulfillment when we have given something, a gift, a favor, a service to family, friend or an acquaintance. My friend is more advanced of help to family, he assists his father at a young age to fish and sell them to buy necessities for home while I get it from our household to share with friends.
We never tire of giving to help someone, even a new person introduced to us by a friend limited by our meager resources. We favor them with that little attention, that little something, a gift that will make them happy and fulfilled at our expense. As a little child up to the age of 72, this has been my life and even my wife asks me why I do this, give to others, provide and use my limited working time to help others. In a few instances these assistance led to the detriment of my family finance due to trust afforded others who turn out to be a perpetrator or an element of dark beings. I have lived in the most urban of all areas in PH with a college buddy, intimate of friends and the two of us turned victims to people of this type. We had at least three major bad personal investments and a lot minor due to what you may call our “trusting behavior to others”. Our innate trust on others turned sour even at our senior years that cost us part of our retirement provisions.
We lived trying years of perseverance what you call hard work and development of professional skills, practical experience or academic, all these years and we still cultivate new skills today. As a door closes a new window of opportunity opens says my friend, Domingo. As a child, teenager, collegiate student, professional and businessmen, we have been too trusting. My close friend-fraternity brother and myself lived the same lives, educating others as child teacher and university lecturers even funding minor scholarships. We have been benefactors despite our shortage of funds to family and friends and sending them to schools even funding a home for them. We gave gifts that we feel we can afford even at times we have to borrow or sell our personal belongings. We share the same behavior. This must be out of norm our times, this 3d timeline as greed is the number one trait of people I see, all benefits for themselves, manipulation of men, power over others especially those in big business and the practice of profession. The fact is some of my neighbors question my habit of caring and planting trees, caring for birds, animals and why I do it. For me it is but natural to take care of nature as we live with them and earth carry us, our ever loving satellite…
