Ikaw, Ako, Sila

How does being part of the group contribute to the formation of your identity, which consequently makes you think you’re unique?

Ikaw, Ako, Sila

Nag-aalangan ka kapag bago sa isang lugar.

Without too much analysis, you are subconsciously aware of your need for belongingness.

Dinidikitahan nito kung gaano kahusay o kalala ang buong karanasan mo.

You strive for it regardless of the level of your anti-social tendencies.

Naaapektuhan mo tuloy ang paligid at ang paligid naman ay naaapektuhan ka rin.

Hindi Kasama

There are always exceptions to any rules, whether that is an argument or a reason.

Lamang sa basehan ang mas madalas mangyari kaysa sa kung saan ba talaga papunta ang usapan.

Just the way you look can trigger it.

May tatu ka sa katawan - ibig sabihin ay may madilim ka nang nakaraan?

It revolves around how solid the evidence is to form the conclusion.

Nahahalo na ‘yan sa mga usapan.

All humans are mortal. Sam is mortal. Therefore, Sam is a human.

Tapos magulat ka na ang pangalan pala ng aso ay “Sam”.

Be prepared to defend your argument in case you become the subject of analysis.

Lalo na kung mali ang hanap ng mga nakabantay sa’yo.

Being Exposed

Nurturing is natural to us, like breathing.

Wala na sa iniisip natin ‘yan dahil parte na sa kung paano nahulma ang kanya-kanya nating isipan.

You and I tried to join, fight, or suffer from it at some point.

Nilalakad ang proseso para makuha ang gusto.

A recurring process of going back and forth, anywhere you go.

Dinadala sa paglipas ng panahon.

I call this Acculturated Swing.

Fabricated or ingrained in big or small sections of society, you can’t look away from it.

1. Exposure

  • Pwede na.
  • Framing flow.
  • Pagtanggap mo.
  • Earlier exposure.
  • Baon mula simula.

2. Norms

  • Social structure.
  • Mga pwede at hindi.
  • Systematic passed down.
  • Sarili pati na pangkalahatan.
  • Generational differences formed.

3. Values

  • Laylayan ito.
  • In hierarchies.
  • Palag sa bawi.
  • Preserving transfer.
  • Pinuno at importansya.

4. Practices

  • Connect it.
  • Tipikal na araw.
  • Bond formation.
  • Galawan sa trabaho.
  • Imitation per location.

5. Fade

  • Ibang punto.
  • Question room.
  • Mas maintindihan.
  • Faiths and virtues.
  • Pangsariling dahilan.

Hatred is always there when you don’t like the people and surroundings you are in.

Simpleng solusyon d’yan ay umalis sa sitwasyon na ‘yon.

However, that is not always the practical one.

Mga nagsasabi na gawin mo agad ay mga taong sumasalo rin ng aberya ng pinili nila.

It’s innate to us to be selfish, as all living things are, to survive.

May kwentang galaw ang alay kung husay ang hanap talaga.

I do this, then you do that, while they do those.

Dulo rin naman lagi ang laging sagot para matapos.

Social conventions formed chains on what you can and cannot do.

Pwede mong siraan ang iba, lahat o karamihan, basta handa kang makatanggap ng mga tutulak sa’yo.
