Those Criminals

Those Criminals Prologue

Prologue

Akala ko pinaka-nakakaawa at pinaka-nangangailangan na ang mga mahihirap na tao sa lipunan. I was wrong.

I thought no one is more pitiful than poor, less fortunate, beggar and needy. Its because they are the people who can't afford to eat at least three times a day. They are the person who can't even pay their own electric bill. They are the people who can't buy clothes, shelter, shoes and all that jazz for their own selves. But I believe in this saying, "If you are born poor, its not your fault. But if you die poor, its your fault"

Pare-pareho naman tayong blessed. Yun nga lang in different ways! Kung gugustuhin mo namang umangat sa buhay mangyayari 'yun. There are so many successful persons who are not born with gold spoon in their mouths yet they reach SUCCESS. Hindi hadlang ang pagiging mahirap para makamtam ang tunay na kasiyahan.

I've realized that criminals are those persons I pity the most. They don't get the situations positively, they take it negatively. They don't even think of getting money in good way. Naaawa ako sa kanila dahil they don't UNDERSTAND. They are the ones who need attention. We need to let them realize how God is good.

I pity THOSE CRIMINALS...

***

No one can ever understand me. I'm the bread-winner in the family. Anong magagawa ko? Isang mangmang lang ako. Hanggang Grade 6 lang ang inabot ko. Paano ako kikita ng malaki? Siguro nga pinabayaan na kami ng Diyos.

Gagawin ko ang lahat para sa pamilya ko. Mapagtapos ng pag-aaral ang mga kapatid ko at maiangat ang aming sarili sa kahirapan. Kahit na masira ang buhay ng ibang tao gagawin ko para sa ikabubuti ng buhay ko at buhay ng mga taong mahal ko.

I'm not a drug user but I'm a drug pusher.  I'm not a user but I'm SELFISH! Nagdedeliver at nagtatransact ako sa nakakabaliw na mundo ng droga. Kahit ano pa yan binebenta ko-- marijuana, shabu,  ecstasy. opium, heroine, cocaine, hookah at iba pa. Dahil sa akin maraming nasira ang buhay pero di ako matutulad sa kanila. Wala akong balak na gumamit ng drugs. Nasa tamang pag-iisip pa naman ako. Kailangan ko lang talagang pera.

Hindi ko alam kung kailan ako titigil sa pagbebenta. Hindi ko alam ang ending nitong buhay ko. Magiging bilanggo kaya ako? Ang hirap din nitong trabahong pinasok ko pero hindi ko pinagsisisihan.

And yes, I'm one of THOSE CRIMINALS.
