The Two People You Meet On Earth

Today is Friday, and Friday is the happiest day of the week. You have put in enough work for 1 week to last a month. And at 530pm, the weekend starts...what's not to be happy right? Wrong!Unlike the people that Mitch Albom's Eddie met on the way to heaven, the people that Gavin met today was enough to put him in a pissy mood.
There are a handful of characteristics in a person that I detest, and unfortunately I had the privilege of encountering 2 kinds of it in a day.

The first kind of person, which makes my patience wear thin are those people who never stand up to their own decisions. They are the ones who find scapegoats when something goes wrong. They are the ones when in failure, will blame the whole world except for themselves. They are like the General who runs away when leading the troop to battle. These people are actually cowards who are afraid to face the consequences of their own actions. These people are worst than the dung beetle who buries itself in shit when there are signs of danger.

The second scum on the face of earth are those people who do not give up their seats on the LRT to the disable. Not too long ago, there was an advert asking Malaysians to be more caring. It shows a blind man standing up, unable to find a seat in a packed train. Then there was this young man pretending to be asleep rather than give up his seat. I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw a reenactment of this advert in real life! There was this blind man standing up, holding precariously to the handrail...waiting for a jolt from the train to send him sprawling onto the floor. And what did all those young people sitting down do??? They just sat there with their eyes closed! Maybe their eyes were too tired after looking at the computer the whole day. Maybe they're worn out after a loooong day slogging in the office. Maybe they are in a deep state of trance trying to invoke their inner chi to bring out their cow sense! These are educated young Malaysians. People who went through the KBSR and KBSM module where moral was a subject taught in school. I dare put my money that some of them sitting down might have gotten an A for Pendidikan Moral in SPM. Some might even have Hons degree. They could be well learned for all I care, but failing to give up a seat to a man who reads with his fingers??? It's a pity...not for the blind man but for those who have eyes that see not.

Yes I agree with you. People who doesnt stand up for their own decisions made. COWARDS thats what they are. And if its a man, worse still. I do not qualify them as MAN.
