Waiting, Waiting, Waiting

I never enjoyed waiting.

Jess Paul and I arrived in a radio station along EDSA Avenue at a quarter past one in the afternoon. We were supposed to meet with a group working for good governance and clean election. The meeting was scheduled at one thirty in the afternoon.

They arrived at almost three p.m.

It is just a sad state -- to see people work and labor to demand the government and other institutions to abide to high standards of leadership. Yet we find ourselves lacking and almost a slack in simple standards of living -- i.e., punctuality.

So, when and where does change begin? I can only re-echo what a Bishop said, "it is character change." But, this would be a long wait. I think it would take longer than the institutional reforms we are demanding from our leaders.

I agree!

It's high time we mellow down and truly listen to the inner core of our beings -- it is there that authentic CHANGE must emanate!
