Why do tattletales do what they do? Is it because of their innate sense of what is right and wrong? Or maybe because they believe that justice must be served? Is it done out of the goodness of their hearts? Or is it because like spurned women, they were spurned out of a very profitable deal?
I am not a judge and would never pretend to be the judge of someone that I only know in the papers and television. Although, I admit, I have heard enough to make a decent judgment about the doings of these people. These people who are officials in our country, these people who are responsible for making the laws that govern our daily lives, these people who we have elected into position, these people who are taking our money to fund their pockets.
These very people are at each other’s throats, practicing the famous Filipino “Crab Mentality” – the bane of our nation. They may look fine and dandy, singing praises about their projects and selves but they are nothing but power-hungry officials on the lookout for the freshest and most profitable deal, and always, always on the lookout for other power-hungry individuals to be their scapegoat. They bribe and accept bribes, they make under the table deals, but when the tables are turned, they are like sheep scattered by wolves. Hiding behind a mask of indifference until such time that they have no where to run or if a tattletale comes out of hiding and tells his version of the story – then all hell breaks loose.
Such is the destiny of our country – to be ruled by power-hungry men and power-hungry tattletales. They are one and the same, it just depends on the angle you’re looking at. The tattletale may seem to be the hero for uncovering a misdeed by his fellow. A multi-billion deal must have been very impressive and very profitable and to be declined would make me a tattletale – that is my opinion.
The question now is, “What is your opinion?”
