IMPECTIONS
by: Chiie Atienza
We cannot please everybody. It is a fact. No matter how hard we work to make things acceptable with what we do, no matter how humble we are to keep our feet on the ground, and no matter how we ignore the says despite the pain, we always encounter contradicting comments, violent reactions and opinions. It’s a reality we have to face in our everyday lives.
The criticisms and objections are undeniably present and our vast imperfections are the subject to judgment for our knowledge, beliefs, and principles. - chiie
It is visibly true that not everyone has a smashing confidence, extraordinary talent, brilliant mind, luxurious aura, and a Mother Theresa’s heart to evidently leave a mark of our personality in each person. The criticisms and objections are undeniably present and our vast imperfections are the subject to judgment for our knowledge, beliefs, and principles.
We are what we say, therefore, I am who am.
In silence I think -- therefore I am CHIIE.
We are raw and half-baked in every way and I believe the most difficult part is to prove ourselves to the world — we may not posses a unique character but we have something to offer, unfortunately, we tend to live by their standards -— a societal standard. As much as we do not want to be compared, though we acknowledge and respect their capabilities, people seized to look differently in each of our own closets but categorized.
The society has distinctive views which do not mean we consider their judgment to be wrong and bias. We are entitled to our own opinions — respect. In effect, we expect people to respect our ideology and vision of profession. Apparently, some people oppose and criticize us, throw stones at us, not to mention the insult instead of keeping it to themselves, and drastically, pointing fingers to blame to save their ass without thinking in their head. We will not deviate from our own mindset just to satisfy others who are out to put us down. We stand on our own convictions and we are not to be belittled by anyone.
It’s not how the discrimination pushes you down; it is how you fight back.
