what is right? what is wrong? who dares to conclude and stand up for his word? What has been the standards for such conclusion? Has heaven enumerated in complete detail what is right? what is proper?
A certain news alarmed me these very early m0rning... I caught sight 0f it fr0m j0mar`s bl0g...
In what position do they have to tell us~ represented by a 7-year old child~ that we pinoys eat delinquently like pigs simply because we use spoon and fork? When has anyone seen a pig use utensils by the way? but i have seen pigs act w/o ever caring for beings around him... as indirectly stated.. I conclude that the manners exposed by whoever is concerned in labelling us is more rubbish and pig-like than what he posed us to be...
The standards of table etiquette does not necessarily mean that knife is used than spoon... Table etiquette imposes respect among those who share the meal... Utensils are just minor details... In such a case, the canadian must have respect...yet he showed rather barbaric manners.. unethical for an educated person...
who is he to correct a born tradition... who is he to stain the prestige of a nation... does he think simply because they are more powerful they have the right to conclude.. to undeliberatelly dishonor the existence of an ideal? does nationality credits to show an upright man? No.. they are in no position... they are not even right in saying it is an important thing to use knife for manners sake... If they live in such a country as ours serving dishes which does not even need knife in the table... they`ll rather look stupid than learned...
Talking about these matter does not only center on the simple idea of misconceptualiztion... rather what broader issue to be discuss here is racial discrimination... other countries must learn to show equal respect to those of other countries... We might be a 3rd world country but such data does not make us under anyone higher than our technology can handle... such position does not give them any license to allow them in pushing us down... They are simply alike among each of us... they have same pair of eyes.. ears.. even they have the hole in their anus just like us... what differences we have is the place to which we reside... which is not a reason for anyone to consider himself higher and gives him the right to unscrupulously dictate us...
Im a Filipino and Im proud of it... I use spoon and fork when i eat... I even use my hand sometimes... but that does not show that im pig like... its what ive grown from... but whever I see someone using different utensils than i do.. i never say they are out of proper decorum.. rather i accept their manner of eating... that is more ethical isn`t it?
