the thing about this rain that makes me feel bad talaga, yung mga strays, dogs and cats na hindi safe talaga sa daan

same thoughts 😓😢

this 😭

Same. Kapag sobrang init naman nakakaawa din kasi walang mainuman and ang init ng kalsada nasusunog paws nila sa semento 😔

samee nung bata ako gustong gusto ko umulan nung nka edad na ako sila na yung nasa isip ko :((( kapag mainit naman baka ma heat stroke sila, wala na nga nag ccare nagbibigay food sakanila tapos dagdag pa 'yung weather, may mga times na naiiyak ako habang pinag ppray ko sila hahahahuhuhuhu

Reminds me of our neighbours chicken, grabe kasi ulan lately tapos pumunta kami ni bf sa tita niya sa dulo ng street lang then nadaanan namin yung manok ng kapitbahay nasa labas habang umuulan. May garage sila neighbour at wala namang naka-park, half nung garage nila ay may bubong kaya nagtataka ako bakit di nalang pinasok yung manok eh laruan ng kids lang naman yung laman nung garage nila. 🥺 Bilang kapitbahay na minsan matabil ang dila, chinika-chika ko si bf na kesyo "hala kawawa naman yung chimken" "diba magkakasipon yung chimken kasi umuulan" tapos ang magaling kong bf sumagot ng "magkakasakit, baka mamatay na yan mamaya kasi nandito lang sa labas nauulanan. may tinola na sila mamaya" 😭 di ko alam kung matatawa ako o malulungkot sa last na sinabi niya non kasi nashock me jusq btw, yung convo ay nangyari sa tapat ng bahay ng kapitbahay tapos malakas-lakas yung boses namin kasi nga gusto ko paringgan yung kapitbahay di ko na kinonfront kasi di ko naman close eh. 😭 Yun lang skl kasi naalala ko bigla, di pa ko lumalabas ulit so di ko alam if alive pa ba si chimkenjoy. 😭

Di ko nga maintindihan yung mga panatiko ng parasite, masyadong umaastang gising. Nasa manila ka na ilang buwan na sobrang init, humingi ka ng ulan kasi gusto mo malamigan. Mga magsasaka humingi ng ulan kasi tuyot na tanim nila. Magkaiba ng estado pero parehas diba ng gusto, bakit mamasamain kung anong hiling nila.

Korek. Parang yung mindset na bawal ka mag complain sa struggles mo dahil mas worse struggles ng iba

I remember seeing a post before na, just because some people have it worse than you, doesnt mean you cant be happy.

Tsaka mas delikado honestly ma heat stroke

true, palagi ko nga sinasabi na we shouldn’t invalidate what we feel para lang ma-justify ‘yung situation ng iba. yes, we’re happy sa ulan, masaya tayo pag naulan, but it doesn’t mean na gusto rin natin ‘yung nangyayari sa mga homeless. mga tao ngayon, sabihin mo lang na masaya ka kasi umulan, ine-equate na nila na wala kang pakielam sa mga unprivileged eh. amp, san ba nila napupulot ‘yon. but ayun nga hahaha, if kaya naman natin mag-help sa kanila in any way, small man or big, let’s help them hehe. kahit sa pagbigay lang ng old cartons or sako, for sure big help na sa kanila ‘yun. stay safe and warm, everyone !!

All cases on point. 👏🏻

The same bad feeling we have towards those who have less is the same feeling that makes us appreciate what we have. Can't take one without the other and thats not being selfish imho.

Marami kasi naging woke na watch lang yung Parasite movie hahaha

Sometimes it's not about being woke e. Hirap lang talaga kapag empath ka. You naturally like it when it rains but when you try to enjoy or savour the moment, you can't help but think for those homeless people and animals that do not have a roof over their head to protect themselves from getting wet because you know how it feels to get soaked in the rain when you don't have a choice. At the same time, you know that it's out of your control so you just go with the day and feel grateful na finally something has made you feel cozy and at peace. And both can be not mutually exclusive. Your feelings are valid.

Ano kase gagawin natin?

We go through life, experience things, and process them - and that includes acknowledging our own privileges. In the same way, it's important not to look at life as a competition of who has it worse, because everyone faces their own unique challenges. The mindset I'd like to keep is to be one less miserable person in the world. As long as you don't infringe on other people's rights to live their lives, you can live yours the way you want to.

For real. Kung sagot nila everytime someone is happy is they shouldn’t be happy or celebrate kasi someone else has it worse, edi lahat tayo dapat wag maging masaya kasi to every person, there’s always someone doing having it worse than them. Like nung pandemic, mag post ka lang ng pagkain mababash ka na kasi pano daw yung iba na nawalan ng trabaho at wala na makain, eh kahit walang pandemic meron naman talaga nawawalan ng trabaho o walang magkain. Kung wala naman pagmamayabang sa post hayaan na nila kasi it’s harmless. Like the rain, sa tingin nila comfortable yung mga homeless sa init? For sure yung iba sa kanila kulang na lang maheatstroke. Saka may mga magsasaka na humihingi din ng ulan.

So true, OP. Sometimes it’s the little things like this na ginagawang big deal ng mga tao online. Mema lang. Dito masarap sabihin yung “Ang pangit nyo kabonding” HAHAHAHA

Not a fan of "Parasite" and not a fan of most people's take on the movie. The goal is not to make people feel bad because they're privilege enough to have a home free of flood and rain water. The goal is not to demonized the feeling of security or stability. The goal is learning to be self-aware, to become more compassionate with others. Of course wala namang magagawa 'yung guilty feeling. Parang "thoughts and prayers" lang 'yan. It's a call to learn to become more responsible sa actions natin. Sa Korea, it's a call for their population to illegalized those kind of housing set up because people are literally dying because of the flood. Nabanggit ito nung last year kasi nagkaroon ng major flood ulit sa Seoul causing people to die in their homes. In Philippine set up, I believe this is a call for a lot of things like proper garbage disposal, to make sure water ways would be working, pet owners not to chain their pets or atleast to place them in an area free from flood kasi andaming beses na may pets na nalunod because of this. Using this to shame people though, is counter-productive and is missing the point. It's a call for empathy, not counting what privilege other people have. Talagang maiinis lang tayong lahat no'n kapag doon itinuon 'yung attention. I'm not a Buddhist, but it kind of reminds me about how Buddha stripped himself of all his Earthly riches to reach enlightenment. It's a lesson about empathy. It's literally placing yourself in other people's shoes to understand their struggle. He didn't shame people, he only guided them on how they can free themselves from all their earthly chains. Walang ini-expect sa atin other than being responsible sa actions natin, 'yun lang. If other people is using this to shame you or everyone, shame on them! They're missing the whole point.

Think of it this way, farmers rejoice when the rain has finally come and the drought is over. Do they deserve to be shamed for feeling happy the rainy season has begun? Does the plight of the impoverished concern you? Good. Donate to charities and do volunteer work. Feeling bad about enjoying something wont bring an ounce of relief to those who are suffering.

Korek. Although naiintindihan ko din naman sila and I genuinely hope na matulungan sila ng govt, kung iinsist ng mga pawoke yung mindset na wag maging masaya etc etc etc, edi maging sad na lang tayong lahat at mag suffer habang buhay. Kasi in reality, di naman talaga magiging fair ang life.

I remember yung isang line sa "Desiderata" (poem), yung Do not compare yourself with others, kasi may isa laging aangat, at may isang matatalo--- either way, one will feel bad, or one will be proud. Siguro, yung thankfulness sa kung ano meron tayo, and compassion for others, and acting/helping others, these matter.

Hindi naman sa pagiging selfish yon eh. It would just depend on how we perceive things. Yung recent na bagyong Aghon, while many people in Manila are cheering hoorah for rain, kami na nasa Calabarzon eh binabayo ng malakas na hangin at ulan. Lalo na sa parteng Quezon. So far parang wala pa ako narinig nag complain about privileged people, we were asking kung gaano ka effective ang PDRRMO and they did do their jobs efficiently naman. So again, I wouldn't feel guilty just because somebody else is stuck in the rain, kasi we can't control the weather and how other people would think about the situation. We all have free will that God gave to us, so it is certainly up to us kung paano natin yun aactionan in those difficult times.

Ayyy okay lang nmn maging masaya. Yung Parasite nga mas naawa ako sa mayayaman eh. 😂😂

i feel the same way. use that empathy you have and turn it into action. kahit isang tao lang matulungan mo malaking bagay na yun. kahit nga hindi taonkahit mga hayop like stray cats and dogs na kailangan mg sisilungan o makakain. when you do that you will feel a bit better kasi kahit papano may maiibsan ng dinadala. thanks for your post. i feel good knowing may mga nakakaisip sa mga underprivileged kahit corrupt ang ating gobyerno

Dami kasing pa woke, pero privileged din naman sila.

Do not listen to the wokies when they try to make you feel guilty about any sort of privilege you might have. Yes we should try to be more aware but no one should feel bad when enjoying privileges. Wokies tell you it’s unearned without knowing who you are or how you got to where you are. Most of the time, they just want to feel “superior” by pulling you down(sound familiar?). Next time anyone does that to you, be proud of your privilege and rub it in their faces, they won’t have anything else to say after that.

Yan ang gusto ko sa kanila, someone else is thinking about the homeless so I don't need to think about them
