Collusion

I can't deny the fact that a recent event has kept me still buzzed. I mean it's an event that I have no control over and will never be a part of because I am not part of the cast of characters. However it does leave my appetite for curiosity (In Filipino, "chismoso" mode) in a state of flux.

Why did it happen? What compelled it to happen? What is there goal and mission? Who initiated it in the first place? Why are others involved? Who are true and who are fake/riders? And questions linger...and still linger...

At the end of the day, I'm just saddened because friendships are affected. Views of certain people towards each other have changed -- or I assume to have changed. Am I affected, of course. Will I dwell over it? Maybe for awhile, especially if they talk behind my back and spit crap about me.... but life goes on, and shit deserves to be left behind.

All I can say is this event was conceived out of a collusion of pride and greed. Or my gut feel tells me so... It's more self-serving and ego-feeding than anything else. And it's the same "power" that influenced others to join the cause.... A small clique which actually became and grew into a small "movement" that caused this event. My take on this clique though is that they, except maybe 1 or 2 whom I highly respect and consider logical and objective, are immature, cocky, and egotistical. Of course, young as they are -- they can get full of themselves easily. Then again, I could be quite wrong to assume such...Yet, what will make them change overnight in terms of attitude?

Which makes me think is this bond that they all share really GENUINE friendship? A solid partnership? Or a collusion that is allowing them to use each other for the sake of "personal" goals? It's a BUSINESS, right? Money matters in the end, more than the cause. If cause is greater, you're an NGO or a Charity...

If the manner on how they exited is a reflection of their character, what will stop that from rearing its ugly head again in this new venture that they entered. Will it come to a point that they will also "eat" each other? Honestly, I'd really pay to see this happen, boys and girls.

I have a saying to "always find the good in everything". Right now, I can't find the good in this "collusion" -- I've seen it happen before, personal ambition and individual character will erode into the group, squabbling, etc, etc.... The personalities are just too combustible...Wait, I'd also pay extra to see everyone there work with each other when everyone wakes up on a bad day.

Get your popcorn ready...
