In relation to the story "Looking for a Rain God" - contemporary views

    Our contemporary world has evolved to its greater complexity and towering innovations. People are being driven by science and technology, economic progressions and repressions, political amendments and tyranny, cultural alterations and social interactions. Predicaments, however, are not yet out of the line because even if there continuous improvements, research and developments, adoption of advanced strategical operations and enterprise integration, imperfection is still prevalent especially  among the 3rd world  countries. In the extreme  of these circumstances, probabilities include starvation, wars, pollution, overcrowding and corpses scattered everywhere.
Let us take a look on our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). First and foremost, they were encouraged to leave our nation and just work abroad due to the terrible impoverishment they are into. Unfortunately, their desperation turned into ashes as they found out  that it is more difficult to subsist and co-exist in other countries, bombarded  with political oppressions and troubles, side by side protests, exploding terrains and economic instability at the end of the day. Take for an instance the Filipinos in Libya before, for the reason of administrative quandaries and intervention from foreign troops, their lives were at stake. Luck for those who were already rescued from that place, yet their dreams became futile due to unexpected commotions. This can be reckoned as a significant lesson that people should deliberately review all possible factors as they select concrete solutions for problems.
We are gifted by God with superb intelligence, freedom and talents. We must be all informed about the realities and even the falsehood of events. With this, people should try those works that are scientifically and economically or practically proven by experts and never be carried away by trivial and superstitious beliefs as in the case of "Looking for a Rain God".  We shouldn't drag ourselves to unsafe and ineffective  ways of solving problems, but rather search for acceptable decisions to uplift our status in the society. For sometimes, it's better to be interdependent and be assisted by others for help in facing any plight, rather than having overconfidence and pride. Being on the right path towards amelioration and satisfaction can be easily achieved if we know how to love others aside from our own selves or for nonsense cause. Respecting the dignity of men and women and ensuring the potential improvement of society can aid us to legally and equitably attain our goals and aspirations in life.
Our inner and  superb desires shouldn't prevail over the moral consciousness and virtues of humanity. It would be of great remorse if we choose an option realizing its failure at the end of the day. Therefore, be on the correct route in doing things right and executing the right things.
