"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Cliche anyone?

Thursday, February 7, 2008

My coworker recently told of an "episode" of the radio show of Mo Twister wherein the DJs talked about their most hated cliches. Mo Twister said that his was "Everything happens for a reason." He then went on to elaborate why he hated this line.
If I were asked what would be the cliche that I do not like, if not hate, to hear, it would be people telling me, whenever I have problems, "Yaan mo na, maswerte ka na nga eh, si {name of person} nga ganito, ganito {buntis na iniwan pa ng boyfriend}, etc….etc." Do not get me wrong, I earnestly believe that we should really count our blessings and be thankful for what we have, even in the midst of problems. However, I believe that this cliche causes people to be stuck in their own dilemmas, thinking that they are already lucky compared with other people. They do not face their problems and just accept them as they are. Sometimes, when I have problems, when I think of this cliche, I feel guilty when I pray. I mean, should I be asking God to give me money for that cell phone I’ve been wanting to buy when I know that other people don’t even have money to buy food? Feels funny diba? It is as if I do not have the right ask God for help. And this makes me sick. Sometimes, thinking about others’ problems and how lucky we are may make us feel better, most often only for very short periods of time. But this does not entirely help us in our situation….we still have to face the fact that we hurt because we lost a loved one, or that we are scared because we failed a subject at school, or that we have to face the criminal charges put against us.

How about you, what’s the cliche that you hate most?

FYI, the radio show you’re referring to is “Good Times with Mo”, heard 6-9 am at magic 89.9. Anyway, with regard to the cliches i hate, one that quickly comes to mind is the one usually preceded by a breakup (if not an impending one): “It’s not you… it’s me”. What the f*^# does that supposed to mean? (is it even grammatically correct?) Literal Tagalog translation: “Hindi ikaw… ako” Anlabo!!! Does this line appease whoever you are referring it to? No. Is the person delivering this cliche be freed from his or her guilt and not be blamed for the (preplanned?) breakup? No. Dapat bang tawaging hangal at corny ang mga taong nagsasabi nito? Sa palagay ko, oo. Will this cliche die a natural death? Sana. Pero malabo.
