The root bears the fruit

Our society is horrid, with many social issues unaddressed and countless crimes seen in the news every day. The world seems to be built on greed, materialism, and addiction. We all want to change this, to make our world a better place, and to restore humanity, but how can we do this?

When we begin with ourselves, we can bring about change. While it's simple for us to call attention to the wrongdoings of others, we frequently overlook our own transgressions. It's time to stop acting like hypocrites and acknowledge our own shortcomings. When we ourselves are incapable of change, how can society be changed? You can't call yourself a good person if you support women's right to be proud of their bodies while bullying someone for their weight. Your righteousness is only based on the circumstance if that's the case.

Overall, it's clear that in order to affect change in others, change must first occur in oneself. You must learn how to change yourself if you want to change others. Because the root creates the fruit, the root (you) is responsible for the result. And a great quote from a great person "If you want to change the world, start with yourself"- Mahatma Gandhi.

Longganisa Festival!

The Longganisa Festival is typically observed in Vigan City on January 22 of every year, just a few days before the Vigan City Fiesta on January 25.

But I also think that the people assembling to watch this magnificent show adds to its beauty. to buy locally produced food and to support the contenders. It is encouraging to see people coming together to celebrate a festival that has been going on for a long time. Because of our collective fear of contracting the pandemic, none of us were able to fully enjoy the festival. But now that we can all go outside without having to be afraid, I have to admit that I can call this experience beautiful. REFERENCES: Angela Marie Aurellado, January 22, 2023.
