Making excuses
Isn't it better to clean up after ourselves than to have people old enough to be our grandparents clean up our mess at hawker centres?
Isn't it better to offer our seats on a crowded train or bus to someone who needs it more, than to pretend that you didn't see them, or to convince yourself that you need the seat more?
Isn't it better to show consideration and courtesy to others than to behave like the world revolves around you and that society owes you?
Isn't it better to contribute to making this world a better place than to make excuses for why you can't?
Because that's all they are - excuses and rationalisations. We shouldn't clean up or the old people won't have jobs.
Sad. And these are the same people that will turn around and scream bloody murder when someone else claims to be "elite", not realising that there's a little elite in them thinking that they have earned the right to be selfish, to ignore the little people, or to condescend to them.
