Anima et animus

ANIMUS in analytical psychology is described as the unconscious masculine side of a woman, and the anima as the unconscious feminine side of a man, each transcending the personal psyche. What has this got to do with my topic? Nothing. It just dawned on me how people and organizations could be so hypocritical, if not duplicitous, about their beliefs and teachings. Their words do not match their actions and they actually get away with the duplicity. I wonder if it is in their subconscious, or if it is by design that they present themselves as sheep, when they are, in fact, jackals. Doble kara.

In our pursuit of genuine solutions to end this decades-old insurgency, we actually come across so many questions that are hard to fathom. The Communist Party of the Philippines' (CPP) deception and "revolutionary dual tactics" has caused so much confusion, even to the highly schooled. Case in point: summa cum laude Raoul Manuel, who is now taking the helm of the CPP's Kabataan party-list.
