DOUGHNUT

As far as I know about the history of doughnut, doughnut was made by accident. There was a person before who once tried to bake bread. He put the bread on the oven but then he observed that when he baked the bread, it turn out that the outside of the bread was well baked but in the inside it was not. So he thinks for the possible solutions on how to solve this problem. So he came to a point that he will just made the bread into a ring shape one and luckily he succeeded.

This simple food or bread doesn’t only nourish our body but it teaches us good qualities and lessons of life. If you will asked me what I usually notice about the doughnut in the first glance of it. I would tell to you honestly, the hole of the doughnut. But it doesn’t mean that I’m a judgmental person. But I want to reflect it with our qualities as a Filipino people and as a human in this world.

It is common for us human to criticized people by their wrong doings and negative impressions last in them. That they had made before which they eventually sorry about it. Isnt there is the room for repentance, for sorry. It is easy for us to see all the short comings of that person.

That once a person committed a mistake in life, the mistake lives on as long as these person lives. And worst, the even associate these mistakes that he had committed to his name. it is ussually happening in the community. I usually heared these line.. “ah.. dun ka pupunta, kila Juan na lasengo. Un at un nalang ang lumalabas sa bibig ng tao. Na para bang wala ng nagawang tama ang isang tao.” It is very shameful. Because they remember a certain person by it’s wrong doing.

One perfect example of this is on how we treat our government official. Isn’t it that people often tell the government that it is corrupt, that it is injustice, that it is immoral, that he is doing nothing for the betterment of the Filipino people? We even go to the streets and do rallies against it just to express our emotions. It is easy to tell those things. But is there any time that we asked our selves, is there any basis of what we are saying, is there any proof of these accusations that we accused to the? Nothing is it not?? Any is there any moment in our lives that we asked our selves that how about us, what we can do to our nation.

I was reminded about the famous saying the president of the United States of America- John F. Kennedy. He said, “Ask what you can do to your country, and not you country can do to yourself”. It is easy to critique a person and what he had done. But what if, the person who we are critiquing will asked us to do the same thing; I don’t know if we can do the same.

I think it isn’t innate quality of us human to critique some one or its work. I think it is learned by us with our environment that we lived on. We should bear in mind that as we critique anything or anybody, we should be reminded that we are responsible for our words and actions. That we should consider their feelings.

Critiquing is easy. But had we ever commend a person for his great job.?

We usually use our eyes in seeing most of the time. But in some circimstances, we don’t usually need our hearth in seeing a person. We can also see people with just our hearths alone. Also, try to look the other way around, maybe there is more beatiful qualities that this person that you will discover.
