What have I learned from being exposed in the reality of life? That this world is really corrupt and that there are desperate people who want to make their lives better but at the cost of other people.
It's not that I didn't know this before. I've been hearing these kind of things when I was a kid. Even I would say over and over again that the Philippine Government is corrupt and this is what's preventing our country from progress. And when my teacher would ask how to put this to a stop, I would recite the ideal principles which was plainly to choose right over wrong and I let my self believe that this is the only way to be.
Now, several years later, I still believe those things and in my line of job, I thought that I would make a little difference and make other people's lives somewhat better. So when they tell me their complaints and problems, I would honestly tell them what I could do on my part which would only require their patience if they would allow. But they told me that they've heard that before and the other people before me and other companies and that they believe that something could be done with their problems but it turned out that they were only those things just to be rid of the complaining customers. Of course I can't blame them if they don't want to believe me anymore. Some of them would sense my sincerity but some of them wouldn't care at all because they're simply tired of it. So the patience that I ask of them, that would be too much. It's just sad that the world is fast becoming worse and every minute, people could think of new scams to outsmart their fellows.
