Rizal and the most of us, Filipinos, admitted that we are
indolent in many things. Indolence of
the Filipinos are not hereditary, it is caused by the troubles that the
Spaniards gave to us. During the Spaniards colonization, Filipinos became
indolent because of certain causes. One of this is the bad system in education
and in religion. In school, they only taught on how to pray and they don’t
taught subjects like agriculture and other courses that involve economic
activities which is much more important to the Filipinos that time. As for the
religion, the friars told the Filipinos that it is easier to enter to heaven if
they remain poor and because of this, Filipinos didn’t work and remain poor
because they believe in what the friars told them. We really can’t blame
ourselves in becoming indolent after knowing this fact, because Filipinos are
born industrious and hardworking. As Rizal stated in his poem, indolence has
only two solutions, which is liberty and education.
