What If Humans Have Wings?

How many of you have dreamed that you are flying? I did once in a while. Flying in dreams can be interpreted in different ways. If you have problems during the time that you had such dreams, it means that somehow you would like to escape from it all and just leave it behind. If you were flying with ease, it means that you are on top of a situation. If you dreamed of having difficulties while flying, it means that there are obstacles, trials or problems along the way. If you have fear while flying, it means that you are afraid of challenges and of success. Whatever it is, flying among humans is really impossible. But what if one day you woke up and found out that you have wings and that you can fly? What could possibly happen aside from being able to go from one place to another anytime you want to?

The list below shows how my students feel and think about flying human beings.

1. No more traffic - you can go to any place you want without the traffic. BUT if all of us have wings and can fly it can also cause traffic in the sky. Because instead of walking, we all fly.
2. Less air pollution - because there are no cars, there won't be smoke-belchers to pollute the air.
   
3. More superheroes - there would be more superheroes that will help other beings. BUT if all of us have wings, then we won't really be considered superheroes, for having wings is an ordinary thing.
4. More crimes - if human beings can fly, it will be very easy to rob a bank, or do bad things, because one can easily fly and escape from authorities.
5. Less responsibilities - if humans can fly, once they have problems or big responsibilities, they can simply fly to any place they want and stay or hide there without being discovered easily; and run away from their responsibilities.
6. Less fashionable - humans can no longer wear fashionable clothes because the wings would make it difficult to change clothes easily and comfortably.
7. More sleeping problems - it becomes difficult to lie down while sleeping.
8. Less bath time - taking a bath becomes a hassle, you need more space in your bathroom especially when you spread your wings when bathing.
9. Darker skies - especially during holiday seasons, imagine Divisoria during Christmas season? The skies will turn dark because of the throngs of people in sky. They become like flies in the sky.

Well, if human beings do really have wings and can fly, there would be more problems than good effects.

" We humans have always dreamt of flying, unfortunately we're born without wings. But what if we humans have wings and we all have the ability to fly? What will happen? There will be positive and negative effects if humans can fly. Traveling from one place to another will be a lot easier. we won;t have to deal with traffics. We can also reach places that we haven't reached before, especially higher places. And the views from the top, while flying is amazing. However, there will be negative effects, as always, humans will not be contented. We will surely use our ability to fly to supress others. Imagine the lack of discipline of people? an accident while flying will surely be a fatal one, n ot only the collission but the fall after the collission will surely hurt more. And lastly, the sky is created for birds and other flying creatures, if humans can fly, the skies will be crowded and of course, humans will drive the birds away from the sky and there will be no room for birds to fly." (Hector Cruz, BSIT 12A)

Bluer than Blue

God created a colorful world, the trees green, the woods brown, the flowers of different colors, and the sky as blue. But what if the only color we can see is blue? I think it is too difficult to live in a world with only one color because all the things in the world are in disorder. Imagine, have you seen a blue crow? How would you know that it’s a crow? We all know that crows are black. It would be hard for us to distinguish the differences of things because they are all created with a uniform color. We might be tempted to think that we are already in heaven for we also think that blue is the color of the heavens.

A Different Look Daily

If I look differently each day that would be insane. I mean, I sleep looking like this and I wake up looking someone else. I cannot establish my identity because people won’t believe that I am Dennis. People would say, “Hey, you’re not him, psycho.” My life would be a mess because how can I apply to get a job if I wake up each day differently. The only job I can get is in a circus, “Ladies and gentleman, the shape-shifting freak!!!” And how can I have a girlfriend if I change face everyday? Can she accept me? The worst thing is that the FBI or CIA is always at my back to catch me and put me in a lab, and do lots of test on me. I think the only good thing is I can get into the “record books” – “the man that can change his appearance everyday.” Get famous, get interviewed everyday, have sponsorship, become a spy and get rich. Hey, I don’t have to work after all.

How to Say "No" Gracefully

Saying “no” is quite difficult to do especially to those people who ask for help. The first thing to do is to think why you have to say no to that person. Think of a valid reason which he or she will really understand why you have decided to refuse him or her. The next thing to do is find a right timing and even a place (if the situation is really serious) so that he or she will not feel too disappointed. And lastly, choose the right words to say and be direct to the point. In this way, probably, you will not hurt him or her. (daisy peralta)
