Personalism : Do Filipinos Really Need this in their Cultural Roots and Personality?

Why are some Filipinos think of themselves as God which make it too difficult to deal with their own countrymen? Numerous human ambivalences are the ultimate culprits. Joys and pains are perceived as complexes; therefore, insults get in the way to decrease their labels which  somehow provide an ignorance of a person's worth and depth in its strictest sense. Hence, evolutionary psychology has focused on the biological drives of man. For Pope John Paul II, the evils within men pulverized heir uniqueness. To set the tone of relevant changes, personalism  must be revived. It is a fundamental truth that being extraordinary is coupled with immeasurable depth.

Personalism is an act of faith for Pope Francis.

Personalism is a characterizing dividing line between a dog and yourself.  To date, you might have been blessed with a great dog. However, in yourself you have dignity, infinity and uniqueness. Dignity is not dependent on your endeavors. Likewise, infinite worth is within each of us. Also, each personal encounter is a meeting of equals. For example, doing the unselfish service to save the poor is not about saving them. This is a meeting of absolute equals as both which  are patiently seeking  to change and grow. The act of being personal has a responsibility of both parties to see and realize that each person possesses full  depth. Moreover, a busy life each day intends to reduce people with superficial tasks. The I-Thou  happenings stories take us back to a bitter reality that everyone is a struggle that we are not totally aware of.

Some people are personalists in their attitudes and their behaviors.

Self-gifting is the second responsibility of personalism to get in touch with yourself . Apart from this, personalists believed that they are open wholes. So,  their ideals of perfection is in communion with others. They are always asking these queries. "Who do I follow or who do I love? The second responsibility is a mastery of how should we use ourselves as gifts to benefit others. Self-giving fosters wholeness to a fragmented personality. The third responsibility of humans is availability. To be open at all times for the sake of friendship. In deed, it is very hard to do because most Filipinos are busy everyday. It requires time and has to be done with sincerity. 

Availability as part of personalism needs time and effort because of a busy culture.

The different institutions in our country demand a change of structure to live up to personalism responsibility. For example, company owners are treating their employees as units to maximize the ROI of stakeholders.  But, we need to change some of these destructive cultures with a moral revolution which unanimously inspires us to be an angel to others,
