I really cannot stand it when people don't keep left on the escalators. When people have no social awareness. When people don't apologise for bumping into you. When people are self-centered. When people have no conception of other world-views. When people have no sense of responsiblity or professionalism. When people can't accept difference. When people turn their inability to understand into phobia or disgust. When people don't really know themselves. When people resfuse to try to bridge cultural gaps, or to even acknowledge them. When people cannot see others as indivduals of equal worth. When people turn their fear and insecurity into cold shields and sharp weapons.

Looking at all that, I wonder how I live with myself.

 

For the record, I keep left on escalators, and apologise when I bump into people.

I try to understand others, and see what they see.

I try to accept everyone, but I don't know how to balance that with my belief system.

I only want to know myself, and different world-views

I think people are all worth the same, I just have to believe it.

Different is beautiful too.

I am a cultural gap.

I am selfish and self-centered, especially when I'm comfortable and tired.

I try to do away with fear and insecurity all together.

 

 

 

But I fall short
