PASAHERO (Passenger)

Last night on my way home, as always, I took the jeepney from monumento to bulacan (via NLEX), so happened that at current sitting arrangement, i was facing a couple whom i think were in their early fourties. I could not help but to over heard what the two was talking about (simply because of the sitting arrangement and with thier loud voices every body i think was hearing it).

But I did not pay attention to it, since im also busy readig an article from a collegiate gazette for report preparation purposes.

But what stunned me was that when they were about to alight the jeepney, they said "para" (signal to the driver to stop), the driver which was around his early 50's did not heard the first signal. It was only a few meters then, that the driver was able to stop the vehicle.

The woman said to his husban "ito naman hindi pa pumara kaagad" the husband replied "pumara ako kaagad" it a disgussed manner, and made blames to the poor driver.

I was just thinking, why such reactions coming from such well-dressed people? from such educated people (from the fact fact that i over heard their discussion)? from people who think they are so good in life?

I felt that most of us do really have an ATTITUDE? i think we always believe that we are BETTER than others?? yes an old driver should be retiring from that job, but that would be another issue, what i was thinking at that time, is the reaction RIGHT or WRONG? would it affect others? would it degrade others? are we in the first place concerned about others feelings? do we care??

Simple things we do, say and think which might give a damaging effect, and I know somebody out there would say "Alam ko na yan!" but if we know the value of it, why not practice it???

Kayo, what do you think???
