“Bakit yan ang kurso na kinuha mo?”
“Bakit wala ka pang boyfriend/girlfriend?”
“Bakit hindi pa kayo nagpapakasal?”
“Bakit wala pa kayong anak?”
“Bakit hindi pa ninyo sundan yung panganay ninyo?”
“Bakit ang taba mo na?”
“Bakit ang payat mo?”
“Bakit wala ka pa’ng ipon/naipupundar?”
These are some of the questions that we are (‘harmlessly’ or
‘no offense meant’) asking to other people and sometimes, we are at the
receiving end of these RUDE questions. Marami pa’ng iba.
Kapag tayo ang nagtatanong, we don’t mean to hurt them or to
offend them.
Pero kapag tayo ang tinatanong, minsan hindi rin natin alam
ang isasagot o madalas (lalo na ako), naiinis ako sa mga taong nagtatanong, ka-close
ko man o hindi.
“ANO BA’NG PAKIALAM MO?” yan ang sagot na naghuhumiyaw sa
utak ko.
Pero bilang may respeto pa rin, madalas ay nginingitian ko
na lang ang mga nagtatanong o di kaya ay iniiba na lang ang usapan.
I get offended whenever I receive those kinds of questions.
Kaya hangga’t maaari, consciously, iniiwasan ko rin ang magtanong
o mag-comment tungkol sa mga ganitong bagay.
We all have our own pacing in life. Iba-iba tayo.
Hindi natin kailangang maki-relate palagi.
We should refrain ourselves from asking these sensitive
questions.
Para sa atin ay okay lang pero para sa iba, this is a big
deal for them.
There’s a lot of people suffering from different circumstances
and they’re already fighting a battle within themselves. Huwag na tayong
dumagdag pa sa bigat na pinapasan nila.
If they’re the one who ask for advises, we can listen and give
but let’s always be mindful and sensitive enough to deal with them.
Pero kapag hindi naman hinihingi ang opinyon mo, just shut up.
We should all learn to be human and to act as one.
In Tagalog, maging maka-tao tayo.
Let’s all break the cycle of being toxic.
Let’s be a little kinder to other people.
After all, a better world starts within ourselves.
‘Yon lang naman.
