human relationship

i think its human's nature to neglect the feelings of others.

but if we are born in such a over populated country,

we really do need to buck up in our EQ.

after watching a show that discusses of the problems with maids in singapore,

i've come to realise that many singaporeans fall short in our human relations.

and i ponder if we can blame it on our asian beliefs?

probably the cause of this shortfall is our high standard of living?

causing all of us to place the value of $$ over everything else including people.

or does the rigid education system play the biggest part?

i feel, to a great extent that it is our education system.

i mean all that we learn is merely how to study efficiently.

rarely or occasionally do we encounter a few moments where our teacher,

whom isn't even a psychology expert tries to correct our behaviour

in accordance to her own beliefs.

we may never know if he or she that is helping us,

is truly beneficial.

why spoon feed children information,

when they can be shown love and compassion and have a first hand experience,

of what good human to human relation is.

maybe this is present in every school.

but what is the crux of the matter is that,

that is not given credit.

children as many would say are the successors of our generation.

so why feed them with information when they are young.

anyone can learn how to be smart.

all they need is time.

but few can learn to be compassionate,

it takes opportunities when one is young,

to develop feelings for others.

when i entered JC,

i somewhat regreted.

it is as though i've entered the working world.

everyone knows that the working world,

is dog eat dog.

that is truly prevalent in my course of study now.

we are still kids man.

prob 1/5 of our life has passed.

that a chill pill everyone.

relax.

we are going to spend the rest of our lives working.

now is the only time we can have few worries.

take joy in making friends.

take joy in using the computer to play games.

take joy in going out for movies.

take joy in sleeping long hours.

take joy especially in finding true friends.

for we may never experience these happy days anymore.
