It is unfortunate that certain victims of heinous crime are so desperately bitter that they themselves advocate the perpetuation of random injustice which enables a culture of impunity.

- Dan Quetulio Brizuela

This season is for giving not for asking. It should be a way of voluntarily sharing blessings without the burden of being obligated by those who feel so entitled to receive.

Sandaling pagninilay

sa hangganan ng buhay

Pagal na isip, sakit ng katawan

Kagalinggan ang asam

Saan man patungo 

ang pasilyong ito

Sa gitna ng pangamba

Batid ang pag-asa.

Itinakda man ang katapusan

Matagpuan nawa ang kapayapaan. 

                    - Dan Quetulio Brizuela

Nakabibigong katotohanan ng buhay, ay ang mabilis na paglipas ng mga sandaling  kinasasabikan at ayaw mo na sanang matapos.

- Dan Quetulio Brizuela

"Ang buhay ay binubuo ng maiikling panahon, ng pagdating at paglisan. Sa pagitan ng bawat sandaling ito nasusukat ang kahulugang hinahanap."

- Dan Quetulio Brizuela

 At death, 

each become stories, 

retold by those who remember.

Youthful reveries,

grudges kept in secret,

unspoken pain of betrayal,

of lives gone awry.

At the final blow

the memory ceases,

in the crossroad 

of forgetfullness. 

- Dan Quetulio Brizuela

There is nothing as absurd in the meaningless toil, haphazard and random labor. While we are ordained indeed to work in providing for subsistence, but moreso to sustain our aspiration for individual progress and the quest for the noblest purpose in life. 

Beyond the collective quest for social justice espoused by various ideologies, it boils down to indiviual satisfaction. For the more spiritual among us:

"Do everyrhing with love" - 1 Cor. 16:14

"But we can do small things with great love” – Mother Teresa.
