In today’s post I would like to share about my views on socially conscious world
citizen in us.
As many of us know, the world is developing rapidly in terms
of technology and infrastructure; physical boundaries between
countries become much less apparent.
Many people in Singapore have to give in to reality by been ‘selfish’;
thus, many are working very hard for the 5C's, (Car, Cash, Condominium, Credit
Card & Country Club). We have been brainwashed into becoming self-centered
and self-interested human beings by having the intention of wanting the BEST
and being one of the BEST and Rich.
I strongly believe that if the society weren’t so realistic,
many would love to help and there would be less news on robbery, cheats etc. Once,
we share, we care, we love for everyone. Now, we still share and care and love
but for ourself. And if we were to look into the recent SMRT case, I actually
feel bad for the drivers. They have no choice but to come to Singapore to earn
a living and we Singaporean not only take them for granted but we also mistreat
them by asking them to go back if they are not happy.
I ask myself, aren’t we suppose to thank them for helping us
to do the job that not many would want to do due to the low pay and heavy
workload. Why are we calling them names, taking them for granted and giving
them a hard time? I believe that no one would want to feel inferior especially when
they are in a foreign country.
Don’t we still have that heart for the community and the
less fortunate? Therefore, I believe that in the heart of everyone there we are
socially conscious; we just need to show it. A little smile and friendly
gesture by each and every one of us will really make a difference. And the
world would definitely be a better and more loving place to live in. And with
the kindness and generosity of Singaporean, I believe that we can do a better
job than any other people! SMILE (: BE A TRUE SOCIAL MINDED GLOBAL CITIZEN
