There may be potholes in the street where I live but they ’speak’ to me in a way that a flawless highway in a developed foreign country cannot. I may be upset by the potholes, but the feeling is a familiar one, and it is easier to endure than alienation in a foreign land. The things that upset me about the country ’speak’ to me in that same familiar language. In fact, it is so familiar that my sense of humor can run circles around the very things I complain about. But that is precisely the problem: because these have become too familiar, I am no longer moved by them - at least not enough to be able to change things. Indeed, they have become ‘my’ potholes. Life in the Philippines may be hell at times, but it remains our home.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jim Paredes" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jim-paredes/first-world-countries-may-have-great-infrastructure-material-comfort/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/791/jim-paredes-67145_change-things_first-world-countries-may-have-great-inf_2709543.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/791/jim-paredes-67145_change-things_first-world-countries-may-have-great-inf_2709543.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/791/jim-paredes-67145_change-things_first-world-countries-may-have-great-inf_2709543.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“First World countries may have great infrastructure, material comfort and modernity, but these cannot…” — Jim Paredes", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "Only those who have awakened know that they were sleeping.", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Jim Paredes" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/jim-paredes/only-those-who-have-awakened-know-that-they-were-sleeping/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/577/jim-paredes-67145_awakened_only-those-who-have-awakened-know-that-t_3156804.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/577/jim-paredes-67145_awakened_only-those-who-have-awakened-know-that-t_3156804.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/577/jim-paredes-67145_awakened_only-those-who-have-awakened-know-that-t_3156804.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Only those who have awakened know that they were sleeping.” — Jim Paredes", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jim-paredes/#person", "name": "Jim Paredes", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jim-paredes/", "description": "Filipino musician... | Jaime Ramon Misa Paredes, better known simply as Jim Paredes, is a Filipino singer, songwriter, television host, writer, actor and activist.
