They say this is our last year here on Earth.But, I say it's not. They say it's already the end of the world. But, I say it's not. They say we won't even be able to reach Christmas day. But, I say it's not.
6 days left and it's Christmas again. For the past 17 years that I have been living, there are 16 christmas days that is on my track. But, just a few that I think is special, which a few is easily forgotten. As time passes by, the Christmas aura slowly depreciates.
16 Christmas Days and not one of it was totally a memorable day for me. It's just the same for me every year. But, this year, I noticed something. It might sound disappointing but I can really feel how people are having a hard time. Natural calamities have showed up, crime rates still rising, death rate still increasing and so much more.
Why? Why now? Why be frequent when everyone wants to enjoy?
It's not just these encounters that become problems but most of all the economy of our country. We may think or the president may think that our economy's slowly leveling up, but I think it's not. As you can see, when I was still a kid, I easily get amazed with the Christmas lights on the streets. Happy children that are playing around. Working or business people enjoying their work. It's just so much fun to watch them.
Now, it has become the opposite of what I imagined. I expected. I expected Christmas lights hanging around trees, or the outside of the houses. I expected children playing and their parents getting angry because there's so dirty from playing. Workers that enjoy. No.
You know what I saw? Disappointing but we have to accept. I have to accept the fact that Christmas is not the same as before. Christmas lights are just a blur. In the 15 houses passed by only ONE has Christmas lights or pattern. Instead of happy children playing outside, I saw a wake on the side of the street I'm passing through. The wake? The wake's for I think a 5 year old child. A FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD who passed away. Working people? Oh, you don't want to bother them while they're catching the train. You'll end up being scold at.
Where's Christmas? Why can't I see it this year? Why can't I feel it even if the breeze is already there. Bring it back. I don't want future generations to suffer just because we didn't continue our ancestors ways.
Me being part of a society of the boundary between the children and the adults, I can say that we need to move. We need to bring those back. We need to bring happiness and the essence of Christmas back where it began. It might not be exactly the same as before but we have to try redoing the past.
