The Immediate Future

This picture is a rehash of Sassy's post yesterday lamenting the cunning move by the gasoline corporations here to pull a "fast one" (read: gas price increase) while the nation trooped to cemeteries to visit their departed ones during the long Halloween weekend.

Thanks again to Polo The Great, who's an expert in photo manipulation.

This picture tells us NOT to expect a brighter future but a future riddled with more burden and sacrifices.

As a wise Chinese said once, "Do not pray for an easy life, but pray to be a stronger person."

How poignant.
