I've made a small new resolution.
If I can make people happy with a small amount of effort, I would do that.
If I don't have enough money for a homeless person, I'd give them a smile instead.
We all know, malaysians are kiasu.. its something that is predetermined in our blood of asians.
I can understand it if the basis of kiasuness, is because of money, pangkat or something along that line. Because there's something to compete for. Yeah, so fine in these cases there is an aim, to win and not lose.
What is so wrong about being a shithead kiasu, is you want, and you feel happy when other people lose. This is the bit that I don't get. Why do you want other people to lose, even if she/he is in a totally different game. Why are you putting so much effort being such a kepoci and penyebok kepala bapak, when that amount of effort is best used for real things to make you really happy. Just let a healthy competition go on. The effort of doing something that useless, is in fact duh useless.
This is about another thing I've observed. Its about how malaysians treat the homeless or people who beg for money. So basically, ada 2 options, either you give money to the person or you don't give anything. But bila tak bagi duit... people are afraid of the eye contact. Sboleh2 takleh buat eye contact. Even parents teach this to their children, when they pass a homeless guy. Saying 'jangan pandang, jangan pandang'. and sometimes, you could see people change lanes when they see a homeless so they dont have to give anything.. I dont think this is right.
This taught me 2 things,
1. I will smile and be friendly whenever I can
2. unfortunate people deserve an acknowledgment, even if you dont have money to give, and hence i will smile.
which led me thinking about some other things. haha. bare with my pembebelan. you can stop reading here if you want.
1. why do we run away from fucking problems that you think you'll end up giving up on.
kalau tak paham, i'll use the org mintak sedekah analogy. Kenapa kita takut nak face (look into mata org minta sedekah tu) problem, sebab kita takut kita kesian sangat pastu kena bagi duit dngan rasa terpaksa.
another example analogy,
there is this girl, who's very afraid that she'd let go her iman. so she dropped evolution class.
The similarity between the 2 anologies ialah..
1. running away from a problem,
2. because you know (or afraid) you'll fall for it if you face it.
isnt that so wrong?????!!!! yee wronggg kannnn. kan kan.
fuh.
