While I was busy playing FIFA 12 yesterday, and using TweetDeck at the same time, I just saw a tweet that somehow shocked me but not really surprising. Mixed. By the way of shocked, because it's all of a sudden, by way of not surprised that people of Libya had hatred of him throughout the years. Moammar Gaddafi was killed yesterday and I saw the amateur video just moments ago. It was severely brutal and totally manhandled Gaddafi. With people punching him, stabbing him, and he was like a vegetated man. I am somehow sad because of the people of Libya chose to kill him and not suffer, I mean, they should've not kill Gaddafi, he should suffer more in the prison but they let them suffer and eventually died by wounds especially in his head and body area where he was smashed by something heavy in his head and shot a the body. I mean that was brutal for what I saw in Al Jazeera, and Al Arabiya.

42 years ago, Gaddafi step up as Libyan president and the people of Libya helped him to get in that position by ousting his predecessor. 42 years later, he was killed by the civilians who had a huge hatred on him for 2 decades. I can compare Gaddafi to two people, Osama bin Laden and Ferdinand Marcos. The longest reigning president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, who spent 21 years on the Malacañang Palace, he did a tremendous job as president. Because of him, we had highways and the implementation of the MRT and LRT that made our country at that time the most advanced country behind Japan. Also, because of him, we lost some of rarest Gold that could eventually make our country rich with that huge amount of resources, it was like finding a oil depot. Also, because of him, corruption started to be a way of life in the political world and people wanted for Marcos to step down and he did because of the mighty People Power we started. Yes, I didn't exist when the revolution started but every Filipino knows the story behind the EDSA People Power. Now, Gaddafi and Osama. They both did a devilish thing that people from all over the world couldn't forget. We all know what happened on 9/11, right? Ten years after, Osama was found in Pakistan and killed. Euphoria was suddenly felt in the streets of U.S. of A! Same for Gaddafi. He was the Public Enemy # 1 on Libya and he was pummeled, crushed, and just brutally dismantled by the anti-Gaddafi men. I was saddened on how those people just manhandled Gaddafi yet I was happy for the people of Libya that they can liberate themselves and start over again what they missed in the world community.

I just wish that here in our country, we will learn this valuable lesson especially to the powerful men of the country. Our president, senators, and so on. Like what the famous Spiderman saying goes, "With great power comes great responsibility."
