What People Fear To Lose

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.
