TheEthical Dilemmaof WhiteLies

Onadailybasisofaperson’slives,we often find ourselves grappling with the concept of white lies - those seemingly innocentuntruthswetelltosparesomeone's feelings or avoid unnecessary conflicts While they may appear harmless on the surface, white lies pose an ethical dilemma, raisingquestionsaboutthedelicatebalance between empathy and honesty This article roots around into the involvement surrounding white lies, highlighting the potential risk and exploring alternative approaches to navigate this moral approach

White lies are typically small fabrications that we employ to protect others from emotionaldistressfromtherealtruth hether its about someones appearance, pretending to enjoy a gift, or faking enthusiasim,these

lies are often rooted in a genuine desire to maintain harmonious relationships They are entwined into the social fabric of our interactions,smoothingoutroughedgesand preserving the fragile equilibrium of our connections

"Honestyisthebestpolicy,"awellknown English proverb, encourages the quality of being honest in society Being truthful brings peace and happiness into one ' s life According to the proverb, being righteousisthebestcourseofactioninone's life because truth always triumphs over falsehood Individual goodness is defined by qualities such as integrity, loyalty, and righteousness

Honestyisthenumberonefoundation of a relationship The easier it is to trust you, the more honest you are When you trust others, not only will they but also yourself may feel more secure It is always a good idea to spread kindness and create positive energy

Thatismuchsimplertoaccomplish when being honest than when being dishonest or unfaithful It is significant becauseitfosterstrust Whenpeopleare

are truthful, they cannot be trusted to lie, cheat, or steal Being truthful implies accepting yourself for who you are Others will believe in you if you are honest and trustworthy

Good values are first instilled in childrenbytheirparents,friends,andteachers To practically exhibit the finest qualities of honesty in life, one must practice good manners, discipline, and righteous behavior Remember that the sweets of honesty will add joy and gratitude to our lives So always betruthfulinyourlife

AsafanofbothJazzandhip-hop,hisNu-jazz,triphop reminiscent style of production tickles my brain just right because in the midst of a Rock-saturated industry and shallow hip-hop songs, the solemnity flavored with jazzy hip-hop rhythms employed in his songs just resonate with me Aside from the quality of production and style, Arthur’s deep eloquence in both Filipino and English is apparent in his lyrics and it is greatly commendable coming from someone who takes pride in theuseofbothlanguages Ifoneweretoexplorehispast, his skill in music and writing would not come as big of a surprise because Nery comes from a family of singers, and he has experience being a call center agent and an onlineEnglishtutorforJapaneseStudents Yetthisdoesn’t take away from the fact that Arthur Nery is a talented singerandsongwriter

Inhinyero Ako!

Sa maraming pagkakataon ng buhay, Minsan ba na tinanong mo sa sarili mo, Ako ba ito?

Sa maraming tagumpay at pagkabigo, Naiisap mo ba na, ano kaya ang tingin nila sayo.

Minsan, sa daming tagumpay na natamasa mo, Sa iba’t ibang karangalan na iginawad sa iyo, May isang tao na magtatanong sa’yo, Ano kurso mo?

At sasabihin mo, IE ako.

IE lang?

Dalawang Salita na maraming pakahulugan. Maaring maging negatibo, Pero sa isang tao na may pangarap, Hindi ito isang Lamang.

Tulad ng marami, Hindi ka naiiba, Isa ka rin Inhinyero na maraming kayang patunayan, Sa iba’t ibang larangan na mayroon, May isang IE na kaya magpadali ng buhay.

Ngunit sa kabila ng maraming pangarap at oportunidad, Isa rin tayong manggagawa sa hinaharap.

Sapat ba ang kinikita ng isang inhinyero sa ating bansa?

Sapat ba ito para mapaunlad ang kanilang kinabukasan?

O sapat ba ito para matumbasan ang hirap at sakripisyo nila sa pagaaral?

Sa hinaharap, ninais mo ba na matumbasan ang panahon na ginugol mo sa pag-aral?

It’s been a year since I penned a tale

That last time I painted it clear

Inspired by mysteries unknown

Full of hope and lesson

Magkaron ng Magandang kita, at makuha ang mga pangangailangan sa buhay,

IE ka, at hindi basta isang IE lang, Isa ka ring Inhinyero, Nararapat na bigyan ng sapat na kita, Hindi man lisensyado, ngunit sertipikado.

Tayo ay isang inhinyerong mag-aaral, para sa pangarap, para sa pamilya at para sa bayan.

I remember the hook that opening line

With unexpected twists a surprise

A solid ending with love that wins

Leaving a smile from every reader often

Can't recall the magic how it flowed

Maybe 'coz my own story began to grow

Realizing twists are more than a show

And stories end as we all know

It's bittersweet the only chapter that close

Adding shades to life's defeat

Wishing for chapters and stories to repeat

So I don't have to close this book–so neat

PROTESTA PROTESTA DE MAYO: DE MAYO:

Daing ng mga bayaning bugbog sa pag-abuso

niANDARNA

Ang paligid ay binabalot pa rin ng kadiliman, ngunit ang umaga ' y kailangan nang simulan. Pagdilat ng mga mata'y tila ba hindi ipinikit, panghal, puyat at hapo lamang ang nakamit. Datapwat, heto na, tunay nang uumpisahan

Sa pagdampi ng nagyeyelong tubig sa natutulog pang katawan, nagising na ang diwa ng adhikaing sinumpaan

Handa na, at patuloy na magpapanday ng isipan ng mga kabataan. Pagtapak ng mga paa sa semento ng pamilyar na gusali, ang kabayanihan sa puso'y tuluyan nang sumapi.

Iisa lamang ang dapat na gampanin, ngunit tawag ng tungkuli'y 'di kayang balewalain. Nariyang naging nars, proktor at kahit pa diksyonaryo huwarang taong, may iba't ibang anyo.

Kailan kaya makakamtan ang totoong pahinga Kung sa kapaguran ay tila nakahanap na ng kalinga?

Protesta de Mayo ang tinig ng paglaya para sa mga guro, kawani at mga manggagawa, makabuluhang dagdag-sahod, makataong kalagayan sa trabaho at karampatang benepisyo ang sinisigaw ng mga tao

Kapit-bisig sa pagsulong ng adhikain at pakikibaka sa katotohanang nakapiring, habang naghuhumiyaw ang kagustuhang pansinin ng kasalukuyang rehimen ang kanilang mga hinaing

Sila ang mga bayaning iba-iba ang mga mukha ngunit ang layunin ng kaluluwa'y iisa, ang patuloy pang humaplos ng iba.

Sa araw-araw, ang panatang ito'y hindi pumapalya

At kahit matagal na natin silang hinirang bilang huwaran ng kasalukuyan, tila wala itong saysay kung hindi natin patuloy na iparirinig sa gobyerno ang daing ng mga bayaning bugbog sa pag-abuso.

Ani nga nila - Sahod, Trabaho, Karapatan, Ipaglaban!
