Indeed, indeed. I personally try to think of the positive and never consider negative possibilities when concerning great political minds such as Rizal, Robespierre, Jacobin, Marat, Locke, etc.
I do agree that had Sr. Dr. Rizal survived and was spared his fate in Dapitan, could he have succeeded in awakening the national persona of the Filipino and brought in the majesty of national discourse to our beloved Fatherland? When one reads the works of Rizal, I can't help but hear the echoes of the French Revolution and the 1st Republic's core values of "Liberté, égalité, et fraternité".
Had Rizal been spared, do you think that he would have cooperated with the Malolos Republic in setting up the first republican form of government in all of Asia? Or do you think the Philippine Revolution would have had been less convicing---since Rizal's death sparked a growth in anti-Spanish sentiments that benefited the Independence movement in the country?? I can only wonder....on the possibilities.
What do you think??
Rizal, en mi opinión, habÃa el pensador polÃtico más grande terminado. Rizal era gran poeta, gran filósofo, gran idealista. ¿Sin embargo, usted lo piensa habrÃa diferenciado si él vivió?

Sinceramente,
