There is No Conflict

Some activists love some economists because they
have the same ideals. Never would they
stay in their air-conditioned rooms,
shut their mouths about the
fight for greater state subsidy, wage hikes and unfeasible proposals expressed through pat-
riotic chants, passionate jingles, prop-
hetic rantings and passionate cries. ‘Wag Matakot! Makibaka!
Contrary to popular belief there is no conflict between them
Some economists love some activists because
whenever it’s time to sit down and talk
they’d rather rally in Mendiola, wearing red shirts every single day without
thinking of themselves.
Thoroughly analyzing the negative effects of such actions.
More people love activists because
they are more visible,thus demonstrating
in their humble ways
how more concerned they are than economists who exude apathy,
who are more anxious of their own welfare,
thinking of how they can make noise by capitalizing on mere theories
by not being open to the other side of the story.
There is
no
tension between them, there will
never
be a serious misunderstanding, because despite the-
fact that their ideas may clash, in the end, the-
ir common interests on achieving the betterment of the majority
will result to more stability and less
confusion will be manifested.I say, let things be.
What is life without a little tension?
We are all Filipinos,
to hell with the Fiscal crisis, to hell with the economic collapse,
to hell with differences in beliefs, to hell with the internal turmoil,
it’s time that we become more laid back,
forget about our problems, let’s
not even attempt to
continue fighting together for our future.
Whatis there to save anyway?
will we lose? That I don’t know.
I think we’re good losers. Don’t ask me. Why
are we in this together?
We’re Filipinos.
We’re Filipinos, that I’m sure of. There is
Mutual respect between Economists and activists. There is no
Conflict! it’s an old issue.
Parang issue ng alin ang nauna, itlog ba o manok?
We’ve got a bunch of newer concerns
but like the archive of the all-time fave issues
it’s never resolved, just pondered upon.
