Takot ang taong mawala ang kanyang physical life—ang buhay
na ito. At sa sobrang takot nya, handa siyang pumatay, magnakaw at mandaya,
mabuhay lamang siya.
People are also afraid to lose other people or their loved
ones. Ang problema sa pag-ibig, kapag umibig ka na, takot na takot kang mawala
ang iyong iniibig. Takot tayong mawala ang ating kaibigan, asawa at anak.
People are afraid to lose material possessions. Kaya ang mga
kotse ay may mga alarm. Ang mga manibela ay nila-lock para wag manakaw. Ang
bahay ay nilalagyan ng mga bakod. Ang mga bag ay may kandado dahil takot na
takot tayong mawala ang ating material possessions, especially money.
We are
afraid to lose means of production that bring us material possessions. So we
are afraid to lose our jobs, land or capital and influence.
We are also afraid to lose power. That is why there are people
who have tasted being powerful and do not want to give it up no matter what.
Pag nakatikim ng konting kapangyarihan ay nahihibang, nalalasing at nagiging
addicted to power whether it is physical, financial, social or psychological
power over other people. Kaya nga kung minsan, lalo sa pulitika, may
nagbabarilan, nagpapatayan at nandaraya dahil gusto nilang manatiling may
kapangyarihan.
People can also be afraid to lose prestige so they resort to
lies to cover up mistakes. They hire public relations people to make an image for
themselves because they want to continue being prestigious and honorable and
prominent, even though that may not be true.
People are afraid to lose pleasure especially the providers,
sources and tools of pleasure. Ayaw na ayaw natin na pagka nakalasap na tayo ng
konting sarap at ginhawa ay mawala pa yun kahit kalian. Pag nakatikim na ang
tao ng air-conditioned room, ipaglalaban na talaga na lagi siyang merong
air-conditioner kahit hindi na nya makaya. Pag nakalasap na siya ng sarap ng
mga bisyo at ng layaw, handa nang ibenta ang kaluluwa maituloy lang ang
pagpapasarap.
Also, people are afraid to lose their physical
attractiveness, especially their youth or beauty. That is why people go to all
kinds of surgery and procedures just to look thirty when they are actually
seventy hanggang umabot na ang pusod sa pisngi sa kababanat ng balat pataas.
So, kung mapapansin nyo, pur “P” ang mga bagay na ayaw nating mawala sa buhay
among others dahil marami pa naman talagang ibang bagay that people don’t want
to lose. We do not want to lose physical life, people, possessions, power,
prestige, pleasure and physical attractiveness.
