my moral dilemma
sometimes, i really hate sitting down in the train, coz after you get all settled in, an elderly stands in the vicinity... and you just have to stand up to give up your nicely warmed seat and see them perched at the edge of it.
sidetrack: i really don't get why aunties can't just SIT on the darn seat. it's like 'ooh, hot - cannot sit, later whatever disease the person has will infect me through gas.' ARGHHH. *anal*
anyway, i'm not the kind that will just pretend to sleep, or pretend they're not there. i just... can't do it!
that's why my brain exploded yesterday.
the train started getting crowded at bedok. i was doing my quiet time (QT) as usual, so i didn't notice anything until i was done. guess what? an elderly was near me!
left brain:
aiyah, but i was feeling comfy leh. and everything is on my lap - mp3, handphone, Bible, bag, jacket...
right brain:
later the poor uncle fall down!!! and you dare say you have a Bible in your hands too!
so i started to pack my things... and then an elderly lady squeezed into my view.
oh shit. now, who to give my seat to??
erm, erm, erm...
as my brain slowly weighed the pros and cons ('he came first!' 'but she's an ah ma! supposedly weaker' etc) the train reached kallang.
and then another ah pek came in and stood next to the first ah pek and ah ma.
i gave up.
i sat back and pretended to sleep.
There
And there you go ladies and gentlemen, a perfect case study to our move towards a gracious society.
(pls don't hit me, viv :))
it's so hard sometimes... :(
*hit*
*patpat*
while that was evil, you're only as evil as the people beside you who also didn't give up their seats for them.
you're still burning in hell, tho'. ;)
