Recently, something unexpected happened...
It was bad enough when I first heard of a friend whom I thought was nice and filial...to turn back on his own aged, ill-health and semi-retired parents in a country that is not of their best communicable language! In fact, they relied on their only child for translation be it from the hospitals to the simplest needs like reading a water bill letter! Shock reverberated through me as it transpired, he was just like another person I know...or maybe...worse.
I guess, in this current superficial society, such things like remembering your roots and giving thanks no longer exist anymore. If there is, it would be like rare stubborn creatures who hold on to traditional values and visions like me and some of my friends. I guess, we really are extinct animals. We should start to "change". >(
Then again..I guess its my own fault for assuming that people I thought I was "close" to, were close to me. I guess its really just a "thought" and its always wrong. I should never assume in the future cus from what I know, I may be just as insignificant as the person walking in the streets to them. :(
