IV. Covid-19

-

E kung ganoon, bakit di pa itigil ng Dyos ang giyera sa Ukraine? Bakit pinapahirapan pa niya tayo?

Tumpak, pinaparusahan tayo ng Dyos. Kaso, baka wala na tayong pakialam kasi di naman sa atin nag-gigiyera. Pero may epekto pa rin. At sapat na iyon upang makiisa tayo sa pagdarasal na itigil na ang giyera.

Nakakapaisip din kung bakit ang Spanish flu at ang Covid-19 ay isinabay ng Diyos sa giyera. Nagkakasakit ang bata sa sobrang kalikutan nito o kapag sari-sari na ang ginagawa nito. Sari-sari na ang ginagawa ng tao, magulo, kaya nagkakaroon ng gulo o giyera. Dapat bang paluin sa puwet? Paminsan kailangan na hayaan ng magulang ang isang bata upang makita nito ang kakalabasan ng mali nitong ginagawa. At kapag nasaktan na ang bata sa mali nitong ginagawa, di na kailangan pang paluin sa puwet kundi pangaralan na lamang kung ano nga ba ang mangyayari kapag ginawa ang isang maling bagay.

Of course, maraming mga conspiracy theories. Isa sa theory ko ay nasa isip siguro ng Dyos na tutal e papatayin din lang naman ninyo ang isat-isa, patayin ko na rin kayo sa pamamagitan ng sakit, para bawas ang sasali pa sa giyera. Namatay din, pero nabawasan ang nag-giyera. Ang pagiging magulo ba at pagkakasakit ay cause and effect? Ang pagiging maayos ba at ang kalusugan ay correlated? Kung ganoon ay di ang Dyos ang nagsimula ng sakit at giyera kundi ang mga tao. Tao ang nagpaparusa sa kapwa niya tao.

Wag ganun. Sinisisi kaagad natin ay Dyos. Dahil malayĆ³ na tayo sa Diyos, sari-sari na lang ang naaaninag natin tungkol sa kanya. Dahil sari-sari na rin lang ang gusto nating gawin, ayaw na nating makita ang Dyos ng Kabutihan. 

Maaari mong isipin, "Dyos ng Kabutihan, pweh!" 

Dapat na ba ulit tayong tumingin sa kanya upang makita natin ang tunay nyang anyo, at di natin isisi ang sari-sari na lamang sa kanya? Kapag ba minahal natin ang kapwa tao natin e gigiyerahin pa ba natin sila? Kapag ba pinahalagahan natin ang sangnilikha, nilinis, iningatan ito, ay makikinabang tayo sa malinis nitong hangin? O e di ikaw na rin ang sumagot sa tanong mo, na ang pagiging makaDiyos ay makatao rin na malamang ay makakalikasan din.

Although wala pang direct evidence linking climate change with covid-19, pinag-aaralan na rin. Iyan ang karanasan natin e, sabay ang swine flu, bird flu, at covid-19. Wala daw kaugnayan pero magkakasabay nagpahirap sa buhay nating mga Pinoy. Lahat kagagawan ng tao at lahat ay may matututunan tayo kung papaanong itatama ang mga maling sistema upang maiwasan ang mga pandemic.

 I started phenomenologizing about my career choice but ended up praying. What happened? Recall me as a catholic who cannot bracket out my faith because it is a fundamental part of my being. It is also not helpful if we go on the other side of the linear equation, positing there is no God, and do phenomenologizing atheistically. We have lots of proof you can review why it isn't the road we took for such things as personal as my life career choice. We didn't focus on proving the existence of God though. There are lots of better proofs out there. We merely focused on doing phenomenology and my chosen topic, which is my career choices. If I phenomenologized during the boom of television, my career would also reflect on its effect. But I reflected today wherewith AI is affecting how I work. I used AI to simplify my complex ideas about my own career choices, which is like using a calculator to help me understand and situate those things that are bothering me about my career. Like ve...

Practical Thinking

 Would you believe that practical thinking is ethical thinking? "What path will I choose to achieve the end? Or what means will I use to achieve my goal?" "What should I do," is a practical question. But "What should I do with my life," is already half practical and half theoretical. It can include ethical philosophy already. Now extending it, the question "Lord, what should I do with my life?" becomes a prayer, a summon for help since we know by experience that the situation that is in front of us, is beyond our capacity to solve. We know by experience if something we need to solve is within our capacity by way of skill, knowledge, or accumulated experiences. We also know if its beyond our capacity to solve. We give thanks God that we have a banana to eat--we don't commonly ask God for help in eating the banana.šŸ¤£ I asked an AI and I actually learned a lot about my situation, why it's different from other's experiences, why it seems ...

Artificial Intelligence

 You are also a model maker you may not yet realize though. The model out there for the taking is 20-20-20 rule for avoiding gadget glares and its consequences that for every 20 minute use of gadget with glares, you stop for 20 seconds and look 20 feet away. Then you observed it and acted on it. However, through trial and error you noticed that when you have migraine or is about to onset, 20 minutes is too long, and the 20 second time out is too short, and that 20 feet looking away is abrupt for you that you observed that you still look blank or blurred before you look and observe something 20 feet away. Perhaps you're still in your thought and can't observe things right away. You observe too that its better to stop, look away, and think about what you're reading for example without any timer which is more at pace with your thinking processes. The additional problem that you noticed though is that you tend to bypass the 20 minute focus when you don't have migraine and s...
