To all public-transport users, the commuters, and people who made the community.
It's 2nd of February 2011. As I disembark from the couch at the KL Sentral station, all I can see is the selfishness of everyone. People tend to be so selfish whenever they see the gerabak which was already-full-with-people. I wonder why are they so bangang to berasak-asak to get into that 'sardine-pack' couch? I feel so confuse.
While waiting for the interchange train, at the platform:-
This white guy, carrying his daughter in his arm with no one bother to offer him a seat. And there's also an old lady carrying a big red plastic bag, terhuyung-hayang right and left, also standing - just few centimetres away from the yellow line marked on the edge of the platform 3. In contrast, the youngsters; sitting; are damn busy chatting with each other - talking about the new clothes that they'd bought previously in MidValley.
While waiting for the interchange train, at the platform:-
There's one Bangladeshi, in which I think he cannot control and unable to hold anything longer; threw out. Vomit. Facing the wall. Near the public phone. Again, no one seems to bother about his condition. Was he sick or something? Was he an alien or something that everyone started to look at him with disgust-faces? After all, he's still a human being, right? Just that he threw out in a public place.
Then, the train came and everyone is making their ways. At that time, I'm heading Batu Caves. The third couch was easily filled with Bangladeshi, Indians, Malays, and some foreigners within few minutes. Everyone managed to get a seat. But then, I noticed something. I was in the middle-end. I have 2 Kelantanese sitting at my back talking about their holiday plans. In front of me were few Indians, speaking a language that I didn't understand. Everyone seems to be in a specific group; talking about something; pointing at something; and of course, being selfish from one group and another. Everything around me was a community with one sikap; SELFISH.
And I started to wonder; am I being selfish too?
I looked out to the orange-evening skies. And smiled. I thot I knew the answer.

The more we grow up, the more selfish people we meet. It's life. Well, as long as everybody is happy.

i thot i had a bit selfishness.ehehehe
selalunya mcm tula bro. ada orang kekadang buat dunno je ngn benda depan mata.
since people dont care about you, why should you care about them.
unless they give u a million dollars. itupun sekejap jer. tanda keharuan.
p/s I am selfish. Because I dont think anybody care for me.It's life after all.
dlm ati slalu tedetik nk bagi seat kat macik2 tua..tp hakikatnya niat tu tak terzahir pada perbuatan..

iyllie:
haha. yang itu satu persoalan yg bagus. boleh dikaji; dan mungkin boleh dicritakan dlm entry akn dtg. hmm hmm...
well. maybe yes. but aku prefer meletakkan 'blame' itu kpd komuniti. dan siapa yg membentuk komuniti...? kita.
joey:
perhaps, wat u're saying was right. sbb xde org peduli kat kta, so wat fpr kta peduli kat org lain. quite interesting.
zixol:
i think it happens to everybody. niat je nk menolong / not being selfish; but as u said, tak terzahir pada perbuatan. :)
