Dear God,

 

Last Saturday I read an inspiring Japanese comic, or manga if you will, called Tegami Bachi. In English, it's called Letter Bee. In Tagalog? ... Um ... maybe Ang Bubuyog na Nagdadala ng Ating Sulat: Puso ng mga Tao. It's an interesting comic. It inspired me to write to Alan and speak of my gratitude-- how he tried his best to help me. In the end, I disappointed him, so much that he didn't want to be included in a picture with me.

Letters are symbolic of people's heart or emotions. It is through letters that we are able to express our deepest thoughts to the ones we hold dear to our hearts.

Well, God, if ang mga bubuyog na nagdadala ng ating sulat are real, I would like to write to you and tell you this:

I don't believe that you exist. I believe that you never existed and that you are just made up by people who are lonely and that through their loneliness, you are brought into this world -- a synergy that keeps the universe running. If you are real, then I shan't worry about sinning, knowing that you will always forgive whatever crime I've committed. 

Is not believing in you a crime?

Is being honest, a crime?

Is speaking of the truth that are meant to be kept, a crime?

I would hope not. It will probably be a crime to people who believe in you, who dote on you, and who feeds on your existence, right? 

Dear God, if you can hear me, please whisper to them the truth -- shine your light to them that they may see that the only thing to fear is none other than themselves. Their own soul, capable of sinning is the only thing they should fear. Not you, not me, or anyone else. Just the self.

After all, it is only us humans who are capable of killing every creature on this planet. 

You know, I watched District 9 and I loved it. Humans will do whatever it takes to save their own skin. Even if it means killing their own kinds.God, I won't be like that. I would rather kill myself and feed my own flesh to my kids than eat my own offspring.

Dear God, I am not making sense. I know you will forgive me, so I won't bother asking -- 'saves us the faking and everything, don't you think?

 

Dear God, you know I love you.  Why else would I be writing to you?

 

Dear God, I hope Letter Bees exist that they may send my heart to you.

 

Dear God, help my own people to grow. 

 

Dear God, people can be really stupid at times and for that I wish they would just shut up ... but, what are mouths for, eh? Even if people work better when they are silent, they ought to speak up even if it means being stupid. 

Dear God, I really am not making sense, but I shan't worry cause you love me all the same -- no matter how imperfect I may be.

Dear God, good night. May all my enemies eat my soul and love it with all their greed.
