It is blasphemy and an expression of extreme frustration.
Somewhere, over the rainbow.

Theban King Oedipus' tragic flaws are his pride and his passion. He's proud of his ability to find solutions to problems. Carried to the extreme, his pride tends to convince him of the pointlessness of alternative strategies, plans and options.The King likewise is proud of his ability to care about others, of his passionate nature of his beliefs and convictions. In the beginning of 'Oedipus Rex', he appears to have his feelings under control. But his feelings and his passions become more uncontrollable as the play's action progresses. Carried to the extreme, Oedipus' passionate nature travels a one-way street and allows for no reversals.

Extreme Personalism. Filipino view the world in terms of personal relationships, and the extent to which one is able to personally relate to things and the people determines the recognition of their existence and the value given to them. There is no separation between the objective task and the emotional involvement. Thos personlism is manifested in the tendency to give personal interpretation to actions, i.e., "take things personally." Thus, a sincere question may be viewed as a challenge to one's competence or positive feedback may be interpreted as a sign of special affection. There is in fact some basis for such interpretations as Filipinos are quite personal in criticism and praise.
Personalism is a philosophical concept that focuses on the inherent value and dignity of each individual person. Examples of personalism include the belief in human rights, the importance of individual agency and autonomy, and the emphasis on forming personal relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. In practice, personalism can be seen in social movements advocating for equality, respect for diversity, and the recognition of the unique worth of every individual.
"What is the real root of personality in a man? It is obviously that which is irreplaceable, genuinely unique, on the deepest spiritual level. Personalism is the discovery, the respect, but not the cult, for this deep reality. Secular personalism is a kind of craze for individuality, a rage for self-manifestation in which the highest value is sought in the recognition by others of one's own uniqueness. ... In fact, Christian personalism is the discovery of one's own inmost self, and of the inmost self of one's neighbor, in the mystery of Christ: a discovery that respects the hiddenness and incommunicability of each one's personal secret, while paying tribute to his presence in the common celebration." From Seasons of Celebration (1965), 21-22.
