MY SON, My Second Personal Blog

Part of my changing is going through all the things that were so prevalent in my youth relative to societal customs, values and mores. All the rigorous if not meticulous and conscientious control of my growing is now being looked at and inspected as though it is being examined for me to win a big draw in life. As if the result of this introspective and painstaking moments I am spending will give me the chance to change my life and relive it to the direction of the most advantageous way for me to get ahead in the next thirty years of my future. (that is if I get lucky to live that long)

In reality, I don't have any regrets, having been the youngest college professor during my time in my beloved birth country speak volumes that I had to initiate radical customary and cultural changes in order to have achieved and materialized my dreams given the economic and political and socio cultural situation of my country when I was young and even today. Being one of the poorest country in the world.

But this blog is not all about this or me. What it is, is the fact that I am now retired from the working capital of the world and I have all the luxury of time thinking and rethinking about what I should do, now, and better yet, what would I do now based on my past for the next 30 years of my life.

While I have a very clear cut understanding that room for mistakes on this coming months of my life is very narrow if not absolutely with zero ground as my economic venture collapsed with the global meltdown.

So having said that, I do have to look at all the angles on venturing this new chapter of life. Only I have compartmentalized it and the first thing is to look at my children and this is about my ONLY ONE AND BELOVED SON.

Here is what I have decided. First I have to wean away from my four lovely children aged from 22 to 30. Three of whom have a family of their own and the youngest, my only son, is still living in lala land. He has a good job let me tell you that, but having denied himself the portals of exclusive and elite schools of which would have been his direction, just went down the drain. He is the most intelligent of all my kids and of his classmates from Catholic School and yet it is the same intelligence that has shaped his critical and borderline hatred for the society for which he wants to change. He does know all the ills of the world and has a very good idea on how to fix it, but he is so hopelessly perched on the mind set that this world with the way humanity is today is completely crippled and no amount of change can make it better.

We oppose a lot in many ways. He possesses all the elements that I have questioned during my time. He knows all about the philosophies of Karl Marx, Engel, Thomas Aquinas, and all the prominent political stalwarts of change and yet remain undecided and worse disdainful about the possibility of contributing in the world's shape for better direction.

So where am I going? My question is, do you have any child whom you put so much trust that they know what they are doing, but in reality worry so much about them because he is a picture of conflicting puzzles and questions you have never encountered in your life?

By the way his heroes are Gandhi, Isaac Newton and Albert Enstein. Right now he works as a security at a major department store and have become the employee of the month on his third month. Saved the company so much money for initiating policies that no manager has ever heard before.

All I want from you all is to share me your feelings, your positions, and your ideas should you have any child like mine. Otherwise, any ideas and or opinions or contributions are all appreciated..

Thank you all.
