Wild and exciting times

These are exciting and wild times, the kind I had been anticipating. For years, I had written about great shifts that will challenge our nation, frustrations that would bring about catharsis, aspirations that would find fresh expressions among our younger generations. I wrote consistently about these times of great change because the signs were clear to me. What kept me wondering was when it would happen in the obvious, and in what ways would change manifest itself.
It was the youth that first alerted me about the imminence of change, the youth of the Philippines and the youth elsewhere. Evolution always places idealism in the younger generations, but the tempo of evolution itself sometimes intensifies in specific generations. That is very true for the youth now, for the tempo today. In the Philippines, there is a quiet passion among our youth, a surprising determination to be more involved in making a better world. This spirit of positivism tempers the anger that defines most moments of great change.
There is anger, of course, but mostly from the older generations. If anyone should be angry, it should be the innocent. The most innocent, though, are the least angry today. They are the youth, and they are the poor. Oh, I see militant youth groups under the umbrella of the traditionally angry, so their anger does not surprise. If they were not angry, that would be the surprise.
The most angry, though not that young and not that poor, have also found their way to social media, not in the streets, not in the school. They are the ones who are first hit by the catharsis. Many must be realizing that they had prophesied all these years what would happen yet are shocked when it does. And it begins with media, naturally, as it has been media that has so consistently made it a major mandate to roll out the bad news, drum beat the dominance of corruption, and condemn public servants and government institutions.
The preponderance of the ugly and negative in the news and media commentaries necessarily is lapped up by enough of the audience, enough to motivate more bad or sensationalized news. Readership or audience influence advertisers the most, and advertisements keep media alive more than the need for public information. Guess who, then, comprises the most audience for bad news but precisely those to whom bad news resonate. Negativity is easy to sell, much easier than good news.
