HEROES TO BE RECOGNIZED

"IF you are looking on a building, what do you see?

--If I were to asked . . .ahhm. . .wait! Let me ask few people. Let's find out their answers to this query.

First Respondent:
"When I am looking on a big building, I imagine that someday I could also be part inside that building. Probably, an employee there. I could also envision myself to be an owner of a building as big and beautiful as that building."

Second Respondent:
"Of course, as I look at a big and beautiful building, I appreciate its design and beauty; its structure, how it was built, the quality of the materials being used, and the color of the paint that really fits it. I could also wonder who might be the architect of that building."

Third Respondent:
"I am more on critics. I often look for flaws and faults. Thus, I always search defects of a building. Then, afterward, I suggest my own design and idea on how to make that building look better. Yeah, that's it."

--What an answer from each of the respondents. However, I was not that pleased so much maybe, because what I expected did not come out from their mouths.

Considering their answers, it can be put that some people are just merely looking on the physical realm of a thing. I thought, I would hear them saying, "I see the people who gave their labor, their sweats, and their force just to build that building". Why, I expect this response? Simply because this is my answer to the above question.

Every time I look at a building, I imagine the persons behind who made possible of its existence other than the financing people. They are those who were the front-liners of the greater fatigue. I could see how the heat of the sun bites their skin; how their sweats shed from their foreheads, to their cheeks, down to their necks; how the droplets of the light rain hits their face that even causes their headaches and sickness; how they hold on their hungry stomach sand thirsty throats; and, how they worked high from the ground where accidents may happen anytime.

For me, it's a heroic deed. Indeed, they are heroes who wished to be recognized, appreciated, and remembered every time one see a building.+++
