More Ironies

Arnold Clavio ... the award-winning journalist of GMA7 did not mince any word when he vent the irony he observed in the continuing melodrama after Digong's arrest. He said: "Para saan ang prayer rally kung hindi naman nanniwala sa Diyos ang ipinagdarasal ninyo."

Translation: "I could not understand the logic of these prayer rallies ... when the person you're praying doesn't believe in GOD."

If you are a true-blue Digong rah-rah fanatic ... you will find the comment acerbic ... sarcastic and for sure you want to fire back and blow him up to smithereens. You wonder what has Digong done to be treated this way ... as you leave your punctuation marks and expletives with a BIG bang ... "He doesn't deserve this?"

But I understand where Arnold was coming from. It was an honest question ... just wanting a truthful answer. The same question haunts me as I also find it ironic ... "what's the point of doing all this exercise when the man doesn't have any religious bone in his body? Nor does he show respect and reverence to God."

In the same vein ... I also understand your anger and dissent ... that you are only doing what you think is right ... and here comes somebody threatening your peace of mind ... invalidating ... contradicting ... and questioning your motives and your actions.

With all sincerity, I don't blame you if you snap back and say how self-righteous ... sanctimonious ... and hypocritical he is. Which you did!
