Lack of foundation….. The Builder and the owner? Sad isn’t it? Who to blame?

From the highest building to the lowest building, from the house to a simple nipa hut, it cannot be use if the foundation is not strong. Who would be a crazy person to stay to building which in any moment it may collapse and may kill you…? Not even a cat or a dog could stay to that…
I had compared this simple example to a person who lacks basic education. He may not be that competent to be employed in a certain company or an institution because of this lack of education he may fall as a beggar, a criminal, a vagrant or a simple “tambay” no future, no present and even a dream for himself. It is a very sad story because it is the responsibility of the state or the government to give such basic education, an education is a right and not a privileged…. Sad isn’t it!
But what if you have that access to this basic education, you may have even entered college and you have even graduated, but you may not be that competent or even not that competitive, who would you blame, is it you that is incompetent or the person who thought you to be one? Or even a person who tought you also questions your competence, can he? or the question may redound on him…. Sad isn’t it? Your idol, your mentor questions if you are competent…. Very sad isn’t it?

Let us go back to the building, who would you blame of the lack of foundation, is it the person who is using it or the person that created and build the said building… who is now the incompetent? It will always redound to the person who build and created the said building! Sad isn’t it?

But someday this building will fall down and may kill somebody. But before the building collapse the owner may do something to make it stronger even the first foundation is weak, from that weakness a strong building may rise, because the mistake from the first building created will not be repeated, it will stand even twice as strong as the previous one…. Because the owner of the future done something to prevent the fall down, he hired a new builder! Can you say that it is sad?
