Realism is a movement or a literary trend which the main goal is to represent and show reality by the use of real life experiences rather than one that is celestial or spiritual.

There are many ways on how we can apply this trend, such as through art(painting, drawing) or in written works. But for today's topic, In order to apply realism, I want to share these 3 photos which represents an important message and meaning in life.

________________________

The photo depicts the reality of the world, particularly in terms of government. We can say that the fat man in suit represents all of the corrupt government officials. They are pretending as if they are covering all costs, just like this fat man providing a carrot to keep the work going, but in reality it is for them to keep in control. On the other hand, we see a gaunt man carrying this fat man demonstrating that the poor, like farmers, are the ones who bear the brunt of the weight and do the most effort. This shows the truth between workers who work hard over the government which only absorbs all of the benefits.

I remember one of my bestfriend jokingly say a reality case, "The government give 5k for every family, when it reached in LGU it became 3k, then when it reached in Barangay it became 2k, then it reached to purok chairman it turns ₱1,500. Finally, when it reached to every family, they can only recieve noodles and 5 kilos of rice"

This photo is already understandable, some people do help but with the eyes of media. They want praises and gain some benefits. There are some content creators or media influencers who prefer to use poor people to gain subscribers and income. Again, this is not for all, as there are rich people who really help unconditionally.

In the photo, there are two men, the one who has a complete body parts but asking for money, and the one who has no arms but working. This photo shows the reality, not all, but in most cases wherein those who have disabilities, prefer to work hard just to help themselves and their family. While, there are people which I don't know if they are just too lazy or what, who prefer not to work and just sit in the corner or roam around to ask money for free.

Are you also the same as me who do care more about those people with disabilities who still work hard, than those who are physically better but just keep on asking for money? I maybe judgmental but I don't easily feel pity for those people on the street, sitting outside establishment and waiting for the people to pass by, because why they are wasting their capabilities and time, asking for money if they can be an effective citizens. Just like in our local, the government already give some help for the street people, but some of them don't want to accept it and prefer the life they have right now; it's their choice.

This is a great reminder to everyone of us, that there are many Persons With Disabilities who are professionals, influencers and motivational speakers. So it's about what you don't have, but all about what you have and can have.

Just few and random photos everyone. You too can do the same, just pick photos which you think have a symbolic meaning and use your own interpretation about what real life is in order to explain a certain image.
