explore my optimistic world

I came from the adoration chapel of the Cathedral last night. When I was about to push the door for an exit, I noticed a familiar face at the corner. He was our instructor in Opinion Writing class. He was sited silently and seriously faced the altar.

At first, I can’t believe that he also goes to places like this because of how I known him. I admit I’ve been too judgmental. Thus, as I walked, I realized that it’s wrong to judge others by basing on their cover or physical looks and their actions.

Honestly, I hate this person not because of the way he teaches his students, but because of irreligiously doing his job as an instructor. There are also many times when the whole class likes him, but very seldom.

As I and the rest of my classmates have observed, he is the type of perfectionist, strict, wise, bossy, strong-minded, proud and goal-oriented man. But despite these, we can also attest that he is kind. However, greed prevails in his whole being. I’m sorry to say that.

Let me share. There was one time when he was not satisfied with the letter we presented to him. That was in connection with our educational trip in Bohol last semester. He was mad. He told us frankly that he didn’t want to encounter flaws, that he is a “perfectionist”. But we have recovered from that irate experience.

Discussion-wise, he is good. He employs reality issues, concerns and situations. He expounds his argument by citing several considerable points. We got much realization out of his lecture. We are sometimes amazed with his ideas.

This man is hated by many. He is judged by the way he staged himself in front of some people, of his employees, and to others who became acquainted with his first phase attitude. Maybe that’s just how he wants to project—to be respected or to be feared.

But any bad has a good counterpart. So even though how terrible we knew someone, there is still something in him which is good, still unseen and unrevealed.
