someday you'll find

Oh wait actually the point of my previous post was to say this: Humans are very selfish.

I was hit with a wave of anger and rage just now while crossing the road from Mandarin to Taka. Like Nikki experienced, Jo is like any other selfish human being who stopped, turned and looked, wondered why nobody was doing anything and then realised she wasn't doing anything either.

When I crossed the road, apparently some old van scratched a seemingly newer car. There were honks and all, but Jo was being spaced out as usual until there was a really loud honk. I was like the closest to the two vehicles so I got a big shock. Then the driver of the car actually came out. At the junction at busy evening Orchard Road. How screwed up is that?! And started pushing all the blame onto the van driver who seemed to confused. He was pretty middle aged looking. And yes, the car driver was probably in his twenties.

Hello, will you have some respect to others? Fine, maybe it's just because Jo feels sorry for middle aged people dressed chor lor-ly but dude. He totally had that "my car is worth more than your van" look. And they just stopped the traffic and everyone else was honking and there was almost an accident caused. And the whole time, the other pedestrians were simply walking away and I stopped because I was reminded of what Nikki said.

But still, I couldn't bring myself to stop the stupid quarrel because I know things like that occur everywhere? And I didn't actually see what happened cos I was stoning so yeah. And for goodness sake, no matter how you look at it it's none of my business but seriously, that guy's face just pissed me off. So anyway, I just 'shouted' at that guy to shut the hell up and drive his ugly car away. From across the road la. I guess I knew no one would hear it but ugh. It's what little I could do.

Then I realised it was only what I could do to save my own conscience, but nothing for anyone else. Sigh, humans are very selfish. Not that car driver only, but every other human being who is like Jo, who blames other people and the rest of the world, but doesn't do anything at all.
