How can some Filipino ACTIVIST'S preach peace, love and harmony?

Question

When all they do is ferment war, hate and turmoil?

Obviously they say one thing but mean another.

Answer 1

I have to disagree.  There are true activitist that do commit to peace love and harmony, but there are those who ruin it for others and take it war.  You have to understand, some people get to worked up over something and put all their passion into it that they forget about what their first motive was which is peace.  Some situtations can't call for peace and love, because there are those people out in the world that likes fighting and war.  Some activitist do have to defend themselves.

Answer 2

That is rather a blanket statement, and singling out the Filipino race.

Does it mean that American activists, or Australian activists are all saints?

Like all who dissent from the social norms, activists among the Filipinos are driven by the desire for beneficial changes.  But there are infiltrators in their ranks who might commit crimes that in the end would reflect upon the whole group, discrediting their noble cause, which could very well be the objective.

Those who sent in the infiltrators could also very well be from former Australian or American activists who turned,  forgot their ideals on the way,  and would rather stomp underfoot any trace of their former selves.

Answer 3

Those who preach peace, love, and harmony but actually ferment war, hate and turmoil are not ACTIVISTS in my book. I would rather call them manipulators, or operators. There are people who take great satisfaction at sowing conflict, and seeing the conflict grow to catastrophic proportions. They are NOT real activists wanting to change the world for the better, and we must watch out for their real agenda.

Answer 4

i just can't explain the "raise the wages, pull down the prices" demands of activist.

In school, student activist complain about the tuition hikes while there are other lower tuition charging schools one can transfer to, why not boycott attending high charging ones.....another,they complain that there is no freedom of expression while shouting complains and stopping non participating students to attend classes inside the school premises.

activist can preach peace,love and harmony...that is to those in the same movement with them, they can boycott , stop buying or using such product or services and instead acquire from other sources and encourage more to force price roll back due to competition. How about buying energy from the eastern block if they offer lower?

Answer 5

I don't know how to answer your question.  It seems a bit hateful.  I'm sure that's not your intent, but it's how you come across.

Answer 6

It's in the Filipinos' blood to hate foreign domination.  For one alien like you to throw your weight around in Y!AP is not only uncalled for but, worse, disturbs a "beehive," so to speak.

Activism is one of our country's most hallowed traditions because PEOPLE POWER was born here: Bob Simon, an anchorman at CBS said, "We Americans like to think we taught the Filipinos democracy; well, tonight they are teaching the world."  

I'd like to think too that the eastern bloc countries, including your native Poland, courtesy of Lech Walesa of Solidarity, followed suit and helped lead in no small measure to the dissolution of the Soviet Union as well.

Answer 7

Activists help reform an institution by calling out the attention of those who are in power of the defects in the said institution.  They only come out when they see something is not right but otherwise, they remain silent and observant.  

Some activists, however, love to foment war, hate and turmoil.  They cannot accept the fact the quietness...the peace and harmony you call, that has begun to set in.  They cannot accept the fact that people from opposite fences could co-exist in peace and harmony.  They cannot allow that  kind of situation to remain or last forever.  So, they start sowing discord by first, insinuating then, to borrow someone's word, instigate.

And the war breaks out one more time with those instigators laughing at our foolish selves or gullibility.

Answer 8

Hey, lets not group all filipino activists, some of them work toward good!

Answer 9

i know whom you are directing this to!  but i ain't gonna tell.

but for P100 i must just let it slip out.  i'm such a w***e for gossip too.

Answer 10

Nice haircut Chuck.  Those malcontents are all followers.  The whole country is full of followers.  They are being led from the sidelines.  When any natural leader reveals himself, someone has him assassinated.  Nobody wants to jump out front they rely on tsismis, rumors, and txt messages to give them their opinion.
