Mr. Pontaoe,

Once again you entertain us with your eloquence, talking about stars, black holes, and galactic death. I am not much of a writer, so I will state my point plain and simple. Mr. Pontaoe, if you believe the Philippines is beyond repair that is ok. You are, after all, entitled to your own opinion. However, to say that other people's dreams and vision for a better country is hollow and meaningless, that is plain bull. You do not have the right to judge another person's dream.

The value and meaning of a dream can only be understood fully by the dreamer himself. Mr. Pontaoe, you are in the middle of the ocean riding a rickety boat that will soon sink. If you choose to just sit there and do nothing, then by all means go ahead. But do not tell other people to do the same. Only a defeated man who is ready to meet his creator will do nothing and will just drown with your boat. Yes we might all drown eventually, but we will not drown without first even trying to swim.
