“THE WORST THING ABOUT HUMANS”

Have you ever heard a rat who wear a bag of bomb as a sign of protest to the government who is not doing well in its governance? Or, did you hear a dog planning to end up his life for the reason that he cannot carry his problems anymore? Have you ever seen a cat standing in the street to be hit because he and his girlfriend broke up? Hahaha….. definitely no! They follow their instincts. They do not rationalize. They are simply animals who care only to survival.

We are not animals. We do not only follow our instincts – cry when hurt, tremble when afraid – but we also follow our reasons. We are capable of interpreting things. We can even recall history to understand the present; we can anticipate the future (though not always correct). It’s because we use our minds. We think, rationalize, investigate, and prove.

I was really destructed about the motion for the bill which allows the use of contraceptives and abortifacients. It also allows abortion. In fact, they were presenting reasons for pushing them to be implemented. They try to allow the youth to use those contraceptives in order to control the population. But the question is, is it not prone to abuse? If that will be acted as a law, I think sex will not be called sex, but, it would be called fun or enjoyment. But is it really the only thing that make us happy? If that will be implemented, will the youth think of it as a way of population control or would they think of it as a privilege to abuse sex?

The Church is not opposite to the goal of birth control, it’s the ways of birth control that makes them express their side. Killing itself is intrinsically evil. By the fact that it is killing, it is evil.

Are we reasonable for that? What law of nature the gives killing a positive intent and worse, killing an innocent fetus who haven’t seen the beauty of the world. What if the baby, if given the privilege to be born, will become a good leader in the future? A concrete example is Pope John Paul II. We all know his holiness and his great inspiration and leadership in the Church. Prior to that, when he was yet a fetus, his father wants him to be aborted but his mother refused. In one of the occasions, the said Pope said that he thanked his mother for not allowing him be aborted.

Last day I am happy that our cat brought to the world 4 kittens. Prior to that, the mother prepared a perfect place to give birth to them. The time each kitten comes out, she licks the rubberlike thing in the face of the kitten in order not to let it die. From time to time, after finding food, she visits her kittens to let them suck her breast for milk. The cat is really concern on the welfare of her babies.

It’s sad to note that we humans are stupid. Humans only bore one child at a time but having many reasons of aborting it. The cat has 4 and she handles her responsibility well. The cat even takes the responsibility solely. But humans, there are many relatives that can help her. Now in this case, are we really that perfect of claiming we’re rational? Why do we justify a creature of God by our own reasons? If growing population is a problem, does it need evil solutions? Humans must remember that problems cannot be solved in evil ways; it will make them worse.

If the bill will be put into law, may God give us a peace of mind. May the people hold the responsibility of killingan innocent child. May the future good leaders of our country may not be aborted.
