I Am Selfish

Today, I was driving out of a mall when the car in front of mine stopped at the gantry. The driver could not seem to get his car to move. After a full two minutes, he was still not giving any indications what was wrong. Impatient to get home after a long day at work, I honked at him. Just then, I saw a Caucasian man running towards the car. He was followed by another two of his friends. They asked the driver what was wrong and proceeded to help him push his car. They politely gestured for me to reverse so that the man could reverse his car back into the car park. I was ashamed of myself for sitting in my vehicle and not going out to check what was wrong. It is so common for us to just honk at others who are slower than us. I saw how selfish I was. We are just too busy and self-centred to care. And yes, I still think that westerners are generally more thoughtful and willing to help than locals. It is just a casual observation.

Those good qualities in people are nurtured by good government policies, environment and society where people won't suffer by giving way or losing something.
