Kinuha ko lahat ng alkransya ko at pati narin ang mga sisidlan ng aking emergency funds, at nagwika sakanya ng, "Is money, evil?"
Dagli syang nanahimik at umagos ang luha sa kanyang mga mata. Tinitigan ko ang kanyang mga mata at sinagot ko ang sarili kong katanongan, "Hindi!"
But it wasn't convincing to her.
Consciously, she knew money isn't evil. But deep within, the old programming, "money is the source of all evil," was pulling her.
Yon ang problema ng karamihan. The poor mentality has been programmed within us since we were kids.
I said, "If this(money) is evil, bakit kailangan natin ng at least Php12,000 every single month to feed us, makapag-commute at mabayaran ang mga utility bills?"
"And if this piece of paper is evil, why do we need to earn more of it so that your siblings can keep their education until they finished college? So that we can even pay back to our parents?"
"Bakit natin kailangang magtrabaho nang mahigit na 9 na oras kada araw, 5 days in a week upang makakain tayo ng mga pagkaing hindi pa natin natitikman, makapunta sa mga kagila-gilalas na lugar, at para mabili ang mga luhong pinapangarap natin?"
"Are you telling me that we need and works for evil to live and achieve our dreams!?"
"And if money is the root of all evil, then why do they ask for it in church?"
There was a split-second pause. Dagli ay aking naalala nong ako'y nagbibinata pa't ang aking ama noo'y nasa ibang bansa. Ako noon ay mapusok, galit sa salapi at nangangailangan ng gabay.
Nakainoman ko itong isang kaibigan ng aking ama noong ako'y napadayo sa lugar nila.
Sinabi nya sakin, "Huwag kang magalit sa iyong ama kung wala sya ngayong kailangan mo ng gabay at hihimok sa'yo. Dapat pa nga ay nagpapasalamat ka dahil kahit papano ay may sustentong financial sya para makapag-aral ka at makapamuhay ng maluwag."
Saka abot ng basong kalahating puno ng lambanog at nagpatuloy, "Swerte ka pa nga eh. Nagsasakripisyo ang ama mo sa tawid-dagat para kumita ng pera upang kahit hindi mo man sya makapiling ngayon, nakakapamuhay ka ng mabuti at wala masyadong pinoproblema sa buhay."
Bumakas sa kanyang mukha ang pagkadismaya at tumungo ng binabanggit ang "Mas mabuti pang ganun. Kaysa naman magkakasama nga kayo, wala namang pera. Maatim mo bang makita and iyong pamilyang nagdurusa at naghihirap?"
Ang taong ito'y isang ama ng lima at bahagyang ikinabubuhay ay ang pagaalaga ng mga domestic animals at pagsasaka. Magkakasama nga sila at buo ang pamilya, ngunit kinailangang huminto sa pag-aaral ang kanyang panganay upang tumulong sa pagsasaka at mapagpaaral ang kanyang mga batang kapatid.
At ako?
Lumaki akong hindi lubos na kakilala ang aking ama. Dahil kinailangan nyang magtrabaho sa ibang bansa para matustosan kami financially since my mother died when I was 8.
I had this hard feelings I wanted to tell him that,
"I don't need his money, and what I need is him."
"That we'd live together for better or for worse, for richer and poorer."
"That a family should stay together."
That's the teeneager Mark-Lee for you! An ignorant!
Ano nga naman ang alam ko sa pera nong mga panahong yon?
Masama ang pera because a father must leave his family for it(money)?
Habang walang pangundangan kong ginagastos ang perang pinaghirapan ng father ko sa abroad; at nabubuhay akong tila pensyonado.
Is money evil?
Then my thoughts snaps back and faced my partner. I no longer want to argue and just gave her my punchline:
"And please tell me, how can this money be evil if the person holding it is very good?
...And handsome?"
She grin and flashed her annoying laugh. (She thought is was a joke!)
Kaybigan, money is evil only if the person holding it is evil.
But money becomes very good if the person holding it is good and with a purpose to serve others.
At alam kong isa kang mabuting tao. That's why I want you to prosper!
