There was nothing I could do to change what went down in history today, but I can do something about tomorrow. When people think that there is no more hope for a country such as ours, I shrug and say, "Of course not. There still is hope." One step at a time, one tiny fragile starfish at a time back into the ocean.
Today is another day... We can still make a difference. Yesterday's events opened our eyes to the reality of hatred and anger... Let that renew our faith in humanity that for every ounce of hatred, we douse it with liters and liters of love.. For every drop of anger, let's douse it with gallons upon gallons of peace.
Today is another day...

I felt the same way too. The news was too depressing that I got up and made a blog update too soon.
Over the past year I also felt angry over the Maguindanao massacre. Unlike yesterday's news, the massacre had me quite depressed for days.
But LIKE YOU I always believe in hope. Incidents like this happen in our country and yet, I still think that our country would be able recover.
Thanks for leading me here classmate!
Gem,
Just like you, I am one but one tiny voice that aches to be heard. In the past, I thought that to lead meant you had to have the loudest voice.. I realized eventually that its these small efforts that when put together becomes great and that which move mountains.
