Very Opinionated!

It irritates me when people around me says too much opinion about something they just heard, that they keep on repeating it to every person they have conversation with. As if their opinion is the best opinion and that by saying them will make them look smart.

That's what has been happening since yesterday. My uncle and my grandma kept on repeating their opinion about my godmother who failed to see her son before he died due to covid-19. My godmother at the time was in Baguio because she is accompanying her sister who will undergo radiation and that she was the one who has a background in medicine amongst all the close relatives. Her sister's kids were all abroad and no one can come home immediately because of some travel restrictions.

Uncle: She (my godmother)should have immediately come home and attend to his son's need when she learned that he has Covid-19.

Grandma: That's right. If I were her, I will do everything to go home as quickly as possible since the medication of my sister has been postponed.

Uncle: So true. And he's your only child. You cannot just let him stay home and let other relatives to check on him. It's different when you, as a mother, is there to check his needs.

Grandma: Yeah.

Uncle: If that happened, they could have saved his life.

Me: That's life. Maybe it's his fate.

Then again today, when my grandma come to our house for their afternoon tong-its class, she again repeated what she and her son had said yesterday. There my aunt said, no, she did everything to save her son and as soon as she heard that her son needed an oxygen, she called some friends to check on him. They could not bring him to the hospital because it was still manageable and the hospitals could no longer accommodate new patients unless its an emergency. But when she learned that her son's oxygen level was not improving, she pleaded that hospital's owner to attend to him. And she contacted one of their nephew, who is a frontliner, to immediately fetch her and go home. They even had a conversation and the son said, he will be okay. It just so happen that everything went so fast and he's gone.

Grandma was speechless.

Sometimes or most of the time, we should be careful of our words and actions. Our opinion/s might sound good and right but make sure that you have all the details first to save yourself from future embarrassment. Know and gather the facts first, research, understand the situation, analyze, conclude then recommend. Opinion is never accepted in audit and even in court.

Thank you for reading and God bless us all.

Keep inspiring. Keep smiling.
