Last Tuesday night, I tried something new. I went to church, a Born-Again church to be specific. They had a freshman welcome shindig and I was kind of invited. So I went.
After the program, we were asked to fill out a form and the at the bottom part, we had to write our prayer requests. I wrote "wisdom and world peace." People read my plea for world peace and started mocking me. "Yesss naman! Miss Universe! World peace!"
"Wow namaaaan! Nosebleed ako sa world peace mo!"
"Shet, ambait, world peace! Plastic mo!" What the hell is so funny about praying for world peace? Why is it that when people ask for world peace, the initial reaction is mockery or the thought of a beauty pageant? I do not pray very often. In fact, I do not pray at all. The last time I prayed was three weeks ago in the adoration chapel of Quiapo Church (because when inside a church, one is expected to actually pray). Included in my prayer were: happiness for my family, forgiveness for my sins and for the sins of my family, wisdom for school, help for my 'diet', my other family members, and all my other problems. That was just half of my prayer. The other half is for the world. I pray for the Philippines and its development, I pray for the hungry and suffering children, particularly those in Africa, I pray for goodness, for wisdom for those influenced by evil, for the poor, I pray for the Earth (global warming and other what-nots), and I pray for WORLD PEACE. It may come as a surprise to you but I do pray (my father sometimes calls me erehes and anti-Christ and my friends would never think of the word religious in describing me). The very few times I pray I pray for the whole world. I pray with my whole heart because it's the only thing I can do to help. I get so pissed when some people learn about the content of my prayers and all they say is: "Weh, di nga?"
"Sus, corny mo."
"Hala, nakakatawa!" Imbeciles*. Palibhasa ang nilalaman ng mga dasal ninyo ay puro sa inyo lang. Unlike you, airheads, I AM NOT SHALLOW. There is way more to me than you think. Your knowledge is limited to those you read in books. Mine is vast like you cannot imagine. *An imbecile, in my opinion, is someone who eats something enclosed in a nonbiodegradable container and just tosses his trash around like the whole world is his garbage can and someone who takes delight in his increasing riches while others are dying of hunger. If you think praying for world peace is hilarious, then you might find the following even funnier. 
A malnourished African child. Hahaha??
The poor. Classic comedy??
The rapid death of our home. Is this what you call humor??
The face of a soldier who died during the war while you were laughing at the idea of world peace.
A reminder for you idiots: Think twice before releasing a laugh from that hole in your face. Think: Should I really laugh or be scared? |
