An event to remember

People nowadays are labeled as cold-blooded and without courtesy, and sorry to say that I began to become one of them.

13/12/2008 time : 8.10

I and a tired bunch of friends just finnished from a shopping trip. While others had to stand all their way to shah alam in the KTM, I was glad for able to secure one seat to myself. Few minutes later, an elder Malay aunty stand beside me. She looked me with a pair of eye, like asking me to give a seat to her.

I had an urge to leave my seat. But I hesitated. Because, I suddenly remembered a petty event that happened to me months ago.

I and my friend secured a seat in the congested Rapid KL. My friend asked me to give the seat to the two old aunt in front of me. I agreed, but when I asked the old woman to sit on my place, it turns out that the old aunt was a young lady, and the next second, my friend laughed at my naiveness.

I remembered the event. and I refused to budge from my seat. She looked at me again, with the same pair of eye that looked me just now, and I am still hesitated.

Soon, a Malay girl scolded me for not giving the old aunt a seat. I apologized and stand out, but before that, I was replied "tak payah" because a guy already stand up before I do. And for the rest of the 30 minute KTM trip, I covered my face in emberassment, regretting my own action.

Lesson 1. Never hesitated to offer kindness and help to people, even though ur help was rejected , fooled or labeled unnecessary.

Lesson 2. Never played on people kindness, u might be doing a greater evil for creating a people that would wary twice before offering a helping hand.
