"A Man with Amor Patrio"
A man with love for our country, A physician, traveller, sculptor, writer, artist, psychic, biographer, polyglot, historian, journalist and a man who sacrifice everything even himself just to fight for our country no other than Jose Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. These are just some of Rizal's works and life. It will take a long introduction if all of his talents and skills will be mention. Rizal is simply fascinating.
After studying Rizal, life works and writings for one semester, I've seen Rizal's passion and love for our country, he is willing to give up on everything, even his life and family just to save all Filipinos from Spaniards hands. He did writings just to open the eyes of Filipinos to show them and to make them realize that they are not slaves of Spaniards in their own country. Rizal brings no harm in his works to save us Filipinos. He also showed the value of Education, Rizal is a life long learner he did not stop studying, searching, inventing for new things. He contributed a lot in our education, like naming some species found in Philippines, writing a novel that until now we study to appreciate how brave Filipinos are and to let us know what happen during that time. He truly dedicated himself for us Filipino, not just hero but a super hero.
Nowadays we don't appreciate what happen in the past until we study life of Rizal. Filipinos now are being blinded for everything most especially to us millenials, we are blinded of what is really happening in our country, we are focused only about social media, how many likes we get in our facebook, how many followers we have in instagram and twitter. We are slaves of our own smart phones and personal computer. We dont really live our life to the fullest, most of our time are spend surfing internet, regularly checking of our account, we don't talk to people around us but we rather chat them using our messengers. Hope there will be someone a Rizal like who will open our eyes, show what is life out there not just appreciating latest phone but to find the truly meaning and value of life. Many time are wasted, life is short, do something meaningful contribute something helpful, love our own country and make your name be remembered, be like Rizal.
