someone mentioned something on my formspring that i guess i didn't really think about when i wrote the last post. i was in a right fit of frustration and annoyance, as i usually am when i type such wordy posts, that i didn't really stop to reflect. he/she said, why you kp singaporeans? everybody in the world is kp also what. and i spent a long time trying to argue back, but i realised it was true, no matter which way i tried to frame it. there will always be people who get angry at stupid things, cannot show compassion, extremely hypocritical, etc. simultaneously, there will always be people who do stupid things, say stupid things and display insanely low levels of EQ or social awareness. from all over the world.
i don't think i specifically said that singaporeans alone deal with this issue in the last post... but that is probably the message that was sent & to be frank, i was isolating singaporeans as the main perpetrators of the offense. and so i must add that it is not just singaporeans who deal with this problem. i don't deny that it is a problem -- it is. it is one that affects the individuals and spreads upwards to society. but it isn't a problem that singaporeans alone struggle with. i'm sure every country will have incidences like these, especially countries that deal heavily with immigration. likewise i am also aware that my complaints are futile, and that since the beginning of time people have fought wars and battles based on the 'you, me & the other' theory. it's just ranting and just frustration, i guess.
i doubt i've directly offended anyone, but i think maybe some people might feel annoyed at what i said? i know it sounds self-righteous but to be honest it's how i feel so... i'm not gonna detract it. but thank you to the anon on formspring, you have inspired this post and helped me realize how blinded i can be when i'm emotional haha
