Read this blog entry by a friend yesterday and found myself in agreement. Not a few Ateneo seniors are currently in this dilemma. Excerpt:

“Most of my morning yesterday saw my whole existence and essence agreeing with something that Bobby Guev said: “Gusto kong maniwala na masarap maging Atenista dahil masakit maging Atenista.” […] That is both the problem and the reward of being an Atenean today. 

[…] It has become a thorn at my side, disrupting all my plans, changing the way I saw the world, wounding me into yearning to become more. It was a thorn I gladly welcomed, a thorn I don’t want to make another decision without. How do I marry capitalism with development? Profit with meaning? Earning progressively with living for what’s compassionate, what’s good, and what’s just?”

I just found out that the owner of the blog this comes from is a girl I went to high school with. It comforts me to know that someone with (technically) the same background as me is burdened by the same things. At least I know I’m not alone in this but, of course, that doesn’t solve anything. The question, “what now?” still lingers.
