I am extremely revolted... watched Taken earlier and i think i in shock. Not tat i do not know that such things are happening. just when it is put in front of my face that i get the full impact. i felt like puking. not from the dirt and grim, but the sadness that in many places around the world, my fellow species have to suffer untold misery. I am sad. extremely sad. the scene at the construction site is enough to make all fathers want to protect their daughters, make mothers not want their daughters to leave their sight for one sec, makes me so angry with the people behind it all. Exploiting others to satisfy their own sick whims and fancies. I am mad.
there are ppl on the streets who blame the women working at geylang for breaking up families, for tempting men away from their homes and wives. have they ever thought why did they have to resort to the means of making a living? i do not think it is fun selling one's body or making a career out of it. although one can argue that it's the men's fault then, sometimes they just have needs and they resort to these means when they have no outlet. then whose fault?
not finding an answer. just expressing my views. I felt terrible watching the show. I felt like just working everyday and coming home, worrying about minor stuffs when there are bigger issues out there in the world. maybe like dear said, we are all born with a purpose in life, but i am disgusted with the world...
all we do is mind our own business. those who claim to want to do good for others turn out to be rather corrupted somehow.. those who write in FB about how they hate SG yet dun do anything about it except to whine and act all sissy. i thank my lucky stars i can walk around town in the middle of the night, that i can go where i want to on my own, that i feel safe and secure knowing that my chances of returning home at the end of the day is very high and that of my loved ones as well.
be thankful for wat we have. we may have our shortcomings but no one is perfect. it is up to us to make a difference. stop whining. i love SG and I am proud of it.

I have the same sentiments. I was once even more disgusted with the people who are whining about the comparatively good life that we have than with the ugliness of real evil. Such narrow mindedness, it never fails to amaze me. Yet, we are humans after all, unique though we seem the same. I struggle to understand, but I don't think I can.. so I gave up. Haiz.. I didn't watch Taken. Think I should some day..
Maybe that's why we are teaching? To change the world in our own ways through our students, I believe we can all do that...
