ONCE


Once I held you close
Red, white, and blue rose
You know how much I care
Hurting you, I would not dare
That morning smile
I miss it for awhile
That lovingly annoyed face
And laughter while in embrace
Times spent
Memories, places, events
Here I am stuck
Tried my best without luck
I know you want more
I’m such a bore
Forgive me, now, the walls are higher
I tried climbing, yet you’re spitting fire
We did reach out
But why still in doubt?
We have walked far
Please keep your door ajar
I have walked with you
Through the smiles and the blue
Your trials and pain
Them, you overcame
Every significant stride of a mile
Remember that I was there all awhile
Differences are present
Bonds can be bent
Hope not broken
Hope not all spent
Please, stop the push
Don’t beat around the bush
My wrongs are all accounted for
I need us to walk miles more
Why can’t we be ourselves like yesterday?
To be only us again, I pray
I did the best I could given the chance
Are you still open for a dance?
Once, I held you close
My red, white, and blue rose
A once not just the past
A once that will surely last

LAND ETHICS

ON ALDO LEOPOLD’S LAND ETHIC                Most of the ethical theories deal with principles concerning rightness or wrongness that govern human interaction with other humans. Less has been the case for how humans should interact with the environment. Thus, Aldo Leopold puts forward land ethics as a layout for humanity’s relationship with the land.                Inasmuch as establishing principles of interaction between humans and the environment, it is a hard task to do since there is a need to reframe a dominating instrumentalist perspective that humans have i.e., objects are in use and should be used to achieve happiness. Part of the disposables to cater human happiness is the environment of which humans still see as a property (for consumption) rather than a coequal such as how ethical theories have always looked at humans with each other ...

Article Review on Elinita Garcia's "Gabriel Marcel: Primary and Secondary Reflection"

Summary:             Gabriel Marcel is a known French existentialist. His co-Frenchman, Jean-Paul Sartre, distinguished existentialism into two which were coined as  atheistic  and  theistic  (Christian) wherein Sartre did mention Marcel as part of the latter in lecture on Existentialism a Humanism . Marcel is a Christian existentialist because he included the divine even amidst the infamous perception of existentialism as godless. Moreover, he is also known for his non-systematic philosophy where he pointed out that the philosophical discipline starts from where one is (referring to the particularity of the situation); therefore, it is not from metaphysical assumptions or already laid down theories.             Marcel’s thoughts talk about the importance and the necessity of reflection wherein he divides it into two as a) primary reflectio...

Bertrand Russell and the Sense of Sin

Introduction             Ethics is this study of what is good and what is bad and throughout the course of history it had also its shares of disputes and animosities. But beneath all of it is that ethics is a means in order to arrive at happiness or the good life. Because we have to act correspondingly or in a certain manner wherein we can get to attain harmony within ourselves especially regarding to our conscience or in harmony with others in order to keep relationships or ultimately to preserve one’s self or to attain such security whether externally and that is in relation with others or internally or personal satisfaction. Our actions are guided by principles of which we take actions correspondingly but the question lies what then are these principles and sometimes we go back to our way of understanding or our metaphysical assumptions wherein we garner from these in order to make way into how we conduct ourselves in our ...
