I made a discovery this morning. I realised humans of all races and genders are equally selfish and “kiasu”.

There is this Caucasian lady at my house’s bus stop that never fails to squeeze her way through to the entrance of the bus just so that she can be the first to get a seat. She won’t even say “excuse me”, simply using her hand and huge butt to slice through the crowd. After that came this petite Chinese lady who allowed her bag to hit others while she was getting her sweater out. On a side note, her make up is clearly not thick enough to cover the “potholes” on her face.

I happened to be standing on the bus. So when a guy sitting down wanted to alight, I had to make way for him. I moved to the side and as soon as I moved and the guy moved out, the petite lady just kept pushing her way through till she’s right beside the seat and asked me in Chinese, “Do you want to sit?” Hello? By your tone of asking, if I said yes, I would be asking for trouble right? But never mind, shan’t pick on people with disgusting makeup and complexion.

Then I saw an Indian guy in his mid 50s, consistently having his eyebrows knitted together. I wonder if he’s always like that because he’s deep in thought or because all the whole world owes him a living? Haha..

If you think that Caucasians are very gentlemen, then you are wrong big time. They are just as selfish and ungentlemanly as Asians, if not worse. They won’t give way when you want to alight; neither will they let a lady sit first. They don’t hold the doors for you and they won’t say thanks when you hold the door for them.

This is a very selfish world. Survival of the fittest. Not a smile or a word of thanks. Why can’t everyone be friendlier? Why do you have to squeeze your way out of a train when everyone’s alighting too, only to end up just slightly ahead of others? Why can’t you smile and say “thanks” when people give way to you?

If only everyone remembers the Golden Rule, “Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you”, the world will be a much better place.
