Since the former 80s, I have been a columnist in different publications throughout the globe. I've written on many subjects under the sun. Politically, I have generally held back. Why? Why should I meddle in things I don't understand?
Hold on! Don't get me wrong! I have my own opinion regarding - as I said earlier - anything under the sun. In this time, many writers and dear columnist friends overturn themselves with different opinions. People have changed. Accepting others' opinions is almost impossible. Many times, so-called "shit storms" followed. Fortunately, I have been spared this until now. It is also not my intention to start any war with my opinion.
But, it hurts me very much how people have changed so negatively no matter where on earth. One thing is as clear as the Amen following every single prayer in church. This pandemic has changed all of us and maybe I'll be one of them.
While I am writing my biography, I keep diving back into the world of yesterday. If not, how could I write about my past. Was really everything much better than it is today? I leave the answer to you my dear readers. Because one thing is certain: we're all in the same boat. It is up to each and every one of us how to cope with the present time.
I have at first God. Secondly, my family in the Philippines. And you?
