Some blame the government for everything, period.
Accusing words have been hurled at many people and institutions. Whichever way you look at it, many innocent participants are bound to get fired, get killed, or get hurt.
Shouldn't I say my piece? As a tax-paying citizen, I can't be a mute bystander, can I? I need to have an opinion on issues, the KKK among them.
My piece has nothing to do with my own thoughts, but those of the Book I read and believe in. Let me cite Psalm 19:14 (ESV), “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
I almost lost two dear friends by simply liking one negative post on FB alluded to them sometime ago. Apologies were in order.
Planting seeds of doubt or simply commenting on debates one knows so little about reeks of irresponsibility.
I don't know enough about Sabah and its legitimate claimants and why Sultan Kiram of the Philipines figured in a Sabah siege that left 80 people dead.
I don't know enough about Kristel, aside from what was published that she could not afford to pay her 10,000-peso tuition fee balance, and why she decided to take her own life.
I don't know enough about the relationship between Kris and her ex-husband James and why they have been in the news about their marital problems.
In truth, I don't know enough about the three K's to even speak about them and add to the fray. The media, militants, and politicians I cannot change. So whatever I read in periodicals I take with a grain of salt.
As one with the silent majority of citizens. I want nothing but a country where peace resides among families, friends, schools, and even sultanates. By not saying anything directly for or against the three K's—that can easily fan more thoughtless remarks on networking sites—is probably one small way in building up, instead of tearing down.
Am I being self righteous? Or preachy? Again, I have no opinion on the matter.
“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” Ephesians 4:29 (ESV)

Word is cheap, and because it's cheap, we spout it out carelessly like cheap pearls. Zip da mouth!
I read Lea Salonga's column about a similar topic and she said she simply ignores them because, "Anything personal is none of my business." Wise lady.
