Today as I was crossing the road junction to the MRT Station, there was this car which accidentally drove a little bit too forward and was kinda in the way of the pedestrians. I can understand if pedestrians get slightly irritated over this, since it blocks their way.
But there was this ah beng-ish looking man in his 40s who glared at the driver in the car. The thing is he didn't glare just for a sec, he glared and he glared and he glared. Even as he walked past the car, he turned his head to keep glaring at the driver.
So my question is, why so unforgiving? It was a very small issue. The driver might have been chatting with his passenger and accidentally moved a bit too far out without realizing it (happened with Amran before. tee hee.) or it could just have been a moment of distraction. Why couldn't he let it go?
At the same time, I know of a lot of people like that, who are similarly unforgiving over other petty issues like that. But the thing is, I know that if they were to read an article about a murder, or a mass homicide in some country, or some other brutality, they would feel sorry about it, and bitch about how terrible this world has become.
Well these people do have to realize that the root of all these evil (apart from money), is also the inability to forgive, and the lack of compassion one has for another. It might be a seemingly small situation, but the bad character is still the same, which eventually leads to the bigger brutalities.
