Is it so bloody hard to GET YOUR ASS up from the MRT seat, and let an old lady/old man have your seat? I can accept it if its those middle aged old aunty refusing to move from their seat. I can understand if a woman with her kid doesnt stand up. I can even comprehend why office people pretend (some) to be asleep and not seeing anything. What i cant accept/ understand/ comprehend is WHY young people dressed in casual wear is NOT standing up for someone who needs the seat more!? Unless they're travelling from Boonlay all the way to Pasir Ris, there's no reason WHY they can just pretend not to see, flick their nails or act indifferent.
An old couple came in to the MRT, and there was only 1 seat left. The old man stood over the seat and signaled for his wife to come over. The wife insisted that he sat down (but how could he as a gentleman! albeit an old one) So, the old lady sat down and EVERYONE LOOKED AWAY! you wicked ppl will get to seat in wheelchairs when u're old... I stood up, beckoned to the old man.. and he sat dwn with gratitude. Guess What. The rest of the many other people (especially younger ones) just stared at me. To those who're reading this. please make it an attempt to get up if u see someone in need of a seat. I cant say i get up 100% of the time but i at least do try to take note if there're anyone who needs the seat. If u believe in karma, then what goes around comes around. If you are damn shag that day. Fair enough. ENJOY your seat. My point being... be socially responsible. If everyone only think for themself... it's gona be a really pathetic world.
(wait. im not all great, and socially responsible and all that bull shit everytime... I just try to be as much as i can..)
Here's why im not:
As i was getting out of the MRT. saw this Blind (partially) person with a walking stick. Everyone around was just moving away, making sure he had space to walk. some even walking behind him, with concerned expressions. (me included). as he was approaching the esclators, he stumbled a little. u could see a few faces flinch. But none stepped forward. I went to him, and led him down the escalator and out of the gantry. After that. i left and walked to the bus stop on my own.
I felt guilty. Shouldnt i have asked him where he was heading and maybe lead him there!? as i was walking i kept turning back... He went to the same bus stop as me. I could have helped him all the way there instead of walking of on my own. But i didnt... he banged into like 2 pillars 1 dustbin. and me? i wasnt any faster at getting a bus. i only stood there... feeling guilty. wishing i could have done more.
now. for the MORAL of the story (now i sound like tan ah teck)...:
- Help while you still can or while you have the chance. Dont end up regretting having known that you COULD Have done something but you didnt.
- We're lucky and blessed.. with good health... healthy functioning limbs and senses.. youth... we need to be contented with our life, and live it to the max.. Everything could be gone in a flash.
Back to the pathetic world of B-O-O-K-S. and Studying.. Things are really monotonous for me. In every single aspect of life. Aint complaining.. cuz things might be worst... Just ranting and hoping things WOULD be better. Ciaoz..
