Kindness …..
It doesn’t pay to be kind. The cashier girl entered wrongly the amount and being the nice guy I am, I pointed out, so I again, use my Nets card to made payment. So after I reached home, took a bath and went out again. Then I went to kino for the 20% sales as there were quite a lot of manga I need to get. Anyway, I reached the counter, to my horror, my card was NOT in the wallet, I searched high and low for it, I can’t find it. Blast it! So I paid with another card and grumbled that I shouldn’t be kind.
Today I went to the bank, and it took me near to an hour to get the bloody replacement card. There, I cursed and swear that why are there so many foreign talent in the bloody bank? So I returned home pissed. The total lesson on this is, don’t be kind. This is just one of the examples. It does not pay to be kind.
Instead, be evil. If you see an elderly on the MRT, standing and shaking all the way, you must assume, if he or she is fit to come out, he or she is fit to endure the journey. See the old person being shake here and there by the lousy train driver who SPEED UP when reaching the station (no wonder all train accident they died). Let them get squeezed by all the kaisu Chi-na that are here who only knows how to keep pushing. Who cares? It’s not your grandparent afterall. If people take picture of you and put on stomp. Sue him. No problem. By the state law and international law, anyone who took another’s person’s photo without the person’s permission is subjected to law suit. Moreover, if posted on web to defame you, you can sue him for slandering, no problem! Earn the extra cash!
You will enjoy the trip home, nice refreshed. When the cashier charged you wrongly, don’t care. Treat it as extra cash to spend. Yay~ now you got extra money to buy something else. Isn’t it great? No? Why not?
Because we are all humans. Unless you are a sadist, I don’t see the reason that you would wanna see an old person suffer in the train. Being squeezed, being pushed, being swing here and there by the SG and risk of falling down. They are not you grandparent, but they are someone’s grandparents! Let go of your seat, it won’t kill you to stand a while. Truthfully, I always never give up as I am either sleeping or playing my HP until someone taps me. LOL, damn paiseh. Come to think of it, I don’t think I have the chance to sit in MRT. So packed!
>:(
Just owned up when the cashier give you back extra money. He or she earns so little, if things are wrong, she need to top up the balance. Its always like this. So just owned up. Pay for what you took, pay for what you eat. A kindness goes around. You don’t know when it will come back to you. But it is worth to be kind, long term. You will see the world a better place. =D
But I am still angry at the queue. >:(
There was once an old lady, she was on her way to visit her sister on the country side. On the way, the weather turns bad and it was pouring. Affected by the rain, the old lady drove into a wooden pane and deflected one of the tires. It was dark, raining and cold outside. Moreover, she was too old to handle the tired and there was no reception in the country side and all she could do is hope. By chance, a farmer named John walked past the old lady’s car. He tapped on the window and asked if something is wrong. The old lady explained that her tire was deflected and needs to be changed, but she could not do it due to the pouring rain and her aged body.
John offers his assistance to her. Before the old lady could offer to pay John, John politely rejected the offers and said that it was just a random act of kindness. Anyone would needs helps in this kind of situation and he should not take advantage of it. So he left for his home and the old lady continue on. Soon after, she arrived at her sister’s house and told her about the account. She then stayed for a few days and left for home.
On the way home, the old lady passed by a café. Feeling a slight hunger, she went in for a bite. After she ordered her food, a heavily pregnant waitress served her. She kept noticing of the waitress and remembered the kindness that was shown to her a few days ago. So, she left a huge amount of tip and wrote to the waitress that she had been shown kindness a few days ago, and today, she got the chance to repay the kindness by passing it on. Therefore she left the money for the waitress to let her buy the necessity items for her birth.
Back at the waitress house, she turned in for bed, besides her is her sleeping husband. She whisper into his ear “john, we don’t need to work so hard now, a old lady just gave me a sum of money for the new baby”.
What goes around comes around, show kindness and kindness will return to you.
