Grateful

After doing chores, a teen hands his mom a bill.

FOR:

• Cleaning the house


• Sweeping the floor


• Dusting counters


• Straightening books and magazines


• Clearing clutter


• cutting the grass


• putting away toys


• cleaning own room

TOTAL: 500 pesos

Mom says "Well alright, I'll pay you later.".

Later that day, the mom gives her son 500 pesos and a piece of paper with something written on it. A bill apparently.

FOR:

• School Tuition from Prep to Grade 7


• Allowance from Prep to Grade 7


• Food and Shelter for 13 years


• Clothing


• Gadgets

TOTAL: 734,558.88 pesos

The teen smiles.

Dedicated to sons and daughters who have finished school and now have jobs and who help their families in paying rent, Meralco and water bills, etc, and who may be feeling a bit tired.

Fatal Flaw

Of the list of seven deadly sins (pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth) under Catholic dogma, pride is often referred to as the most serious. It is the source of the other sins. In Greek tragedy, hubris or overconfident pride and arrogance leads to the protagonist's downfall."Pride comes before a fall" as the saying goes. In our daily lives, there comes a time when we have to eat humble pie or swallow our pride. The refusal to do the above in certain situations is what causes us problems.
