Takdang Gawain 4: Orihinal Na Akda: Boats in A Storm

This document summarizes the different experiences people are having during the COVID-19 pandemic storm. Some see it as a time for reflection, while others face desperate crises. Some feel lonely and isolated, while others have reconnected with family and friends. Not everyone is affected equally - some have experienced the virus directly, lost loved ones, or worry their loved ones may not survive. Others do not see it as a major problem. The storm will pass and people will emerge in different ways - some stronger, some unharmed, some scarred. It is important to have empathy for others' experiences even if we don't feel their pain ourselves and to navigate our situations with respect and responsibility.

TAKDANG GAWAIN 4
ORIHINAL NA AKDA:

Boats in a storm

We are all navigating a storm, but not in the same boat


The waves may capsize yours while gently rocking mine or vice versa
For some, quarantine is a moment of reflection, of re-connection.
Easy, in flip flops, with a glass of whiskey in
hand For others, this is a desperate crisis
Some experience it as loneliness and isolation
Others a time of reconnection with family and
friends Some lament the absence of a brand they
love Others worry about bread for the weekend,
or if the noodles will last a few more
days Some work in their "home office"
Others have lost their homes and offices We
criticize those who break the quarantine
But some have no choice, they have to pay the bills.
Others choose to escape.
To their country homes or favorite vacation destinations
Some have experienced the virus, some have already lost someone from it,
some are not sure their loved ones are going to make it
And yet there are some who don't even believe this is a big deal
Many are getting vaccinated. Some have faith in God and miracles.
Others lack faith in science
Some think the storm is passing, others think the worst is yet to come
So, friends, we are not in the same boat. We are in the same storm.
How we perceive it depends on the boat we are on
And when the storm passes, each of us will emerge, in our own way.
Some stronger, some unscathed, some scarred, some on a stretcher, and some will not make it.
It is very important to see beyond our own experience
See beyond our politics, beyond religion, beyond race, beyond the nose on our faces
Do not underestimate the pain of others even if we do not feel it ourselves
Do not judge the good life of one nor condemn the choices of the other
Let us not judge the one who lacks, nor the one with possessions
We are all simply on different boats
Let’s navigate our routes with respect, empathy and responsibility
SALING AKDA

Mga bangka sa isang bagyo


Lahat tayo ay nagtatahak sa isang bagyo, ngunit hindi sa iisang bangka
Ang mga alon ay maaaring pumunta sa iyo habang marahang itumba ang akin
o kabaligtaran
Para sa ilan, ang kuwarentenas ay isang sandali ng pagsasalamin, ng muling
koneksyon.
Madali, sa tsinelas, na may isang baso ng wiski sa kamay
Para sa iba, ito ay isang desperadong krisis
Nararanasan ito ng ilan bilang kalungkutan at paghihiwalay
Ang iba naman ay ginagamit ang oras para sa pakikipag-ugnay muli sa pamilya
at mga kaibigan
Ang ilan ay nagdalamhati sa kawalan ng isang tatak na gusto nila
Ang iba ay nag-aalala tungkol sa tinapay para sa katapusan ng linggo,
o kung tatagal pa ng ilang araw ang sopas
Ang ilan ay nagtatrabaho sa kanilang "home office"
Ang iba ay nawalan ng bahay at opisina
Pinupuna natin ang mga sumisira sa kuwarentenas
Ngunit ang ilan ay walang pagpipilian, kailangan nilang bayaran ang mga
bayarin.
Pinipili ng iba na makatakas.
Sa kanilang mga tahanan sa probinsya o mga paboritong patutunguhan sa
bakasyon
Ang ilan ay nakaranas ng virus, ang ilan ay nawala na ang kanilang minamhal
mula rito,
ang ilan ay hindi sigurado na ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay ay makakaraos
Ngunit may ilang mga hindi maniniwala na ito ay isang malaking pagsubok
Marami ang nababakunahan. Ang ilan ay may pananalig sa Diyos at mga
himala.
Ang iba ay walang paniniwala sa agham
Iniisip ng ilan na ang bagyo ay kumalma na, ang iba ay nag-iisip na ang
pinakamasama ay darating pa
Kaya, mga kaibigan, wala tayo sa iisang bangka. Nasa iisang bagyo tayo.
Kung paano natin ito napapansin, ay nakasalalay sa bangka na ating sinasakyan
At kapag lumipas ang bagyo, bawat isa sa atin ay lalabas, sa ating sariling
pamamaraan.
Ang ilang ay mas malakas, ang ilan ay hindi nasaktan, ang ilan ay
nagdadalamhati, ang ilan ay napiliyan, at ang ilan ay hindi mapapalaran.
Napakahalaga na makita nang lampas sa ating sariling karanasan
Tingnan ng lampas sa ating politika, lampas sa relihiyon, lampas sa lahi,
lampas sa ilong sa ating mga mukha
Huwag maliitin ang sakit ng iba kahit na hindi natin ito nararamdaman
Huwag hatulan ang mabuting buhay ng isa o hatulan ang mga pagpipilian ng
iba
Huwag nating hatulan ang kulang, o ang may mga pag-aari
Lahat tayo ay nasa iba't ibang mga bangka
Tahakin natin ang mga ruta nang may paggalang, empatiya at responsibilidad
