Do You Have To Know Someone To Help Them??? by mrDennis(m): 12:02pm On Jan 10, 2016
MY EXPERIENCE ON FRIDAY.
it's the end of the working day , i decide against going back the mainland on Saturday I head to marina to pick brt to mile 12:
After queuing for 30 mins or so a bus finally arrives
*alas seats already filled but we can't risk another wait for a bus so many of us decide to stand .
Sadly there is traffic , heavy traffic and despite leaving our take off point by 5:30(approx) we reach Mike 12 by 9pm(approx) .
.
Now this is the interesting thing NOT ONE person who was seated offered any of us (over 20/30 people) standing a chance to swap so they could rest their feet (even if it was for 20-30 mins). Even my fellow youngster ( am sure we in same age bracket) declined to. Shift a lil so I could lean on his arm rest.
I began to wonder didn't we all pay the same fare? Could anyone have predicted such heavy gridlock that even brt couldn't seemlessly conquer??

So I ask this question what do people learn In the churches , shrines, mosques and wherever atheist go?
When I got home and reflected i realised many of us are so self centred we do not even know what being kind means.

Please I urge us to make it a duty to carry out acts of kindness.
Whether it is illuminating your part of the street via a lightbulb so @ night there is visibility, abiding my driving rules (speed limits, zebra crossings, lanes etc) to ensure our roads are safer etc.

our problem in this country is greed and self centredness .... how bout we eliminate selfish tendencies and am sure greed (which feeds off on self centeredness). Will die a natural death.
