“Our natural ingenuity got stuck with the jeepney! We are mired in the ‘God will provide’ mentality. Five hundred years of praying has not given us a Thomas Edison, a Steve Jobs or even a Lee Kuan Yew…”
“God will provide” mentality has DOOMED Filipinos!
“God will provide” is the same old manifestation of the same old thing: desire to live without work, “mabuhay na di na nag-iisip,” “puro sarap nalang,” and everything is pleasure. I’ll disagree with De Leon that it’s religion’s fault, it’s actually human nature that crept into religion.
Treating God like a genie… ?
