well oh well.. a few days have passed and i have been kept busy.. every since i have quit my job.. been going out a lot lately.. doing things with friends.. teaching tuition.. goin for meetings and stuff like that.. apparently.. while i was doing all these.. there is this disturbing trend amongst us that i think i would like to bring up.. recently.. i was on a board a bus lets name it x at an interchange.. as i board the bus and i sat down.. i saw a few passengers..happily tapping their cards at the exit when they have not got off the bus and just got on board.. now now..some of youmay say this is cost saving and a lot of us are doping it so why bother.. but come to think of it..whatever we do comes with consequences.. lets list down some possible consequnces..
firstly.. the bus company would suffer a hug loss from our may i call it chaeting habits.. this will result in em resorting to find means and measures to recoup these losses.. one of the possible way ould be to increase the fare.. because since e percentage of those cheating would still be smaller than the percentage of those who dont cheat, the only way to get the money back is to "punish" those who do not cheat by incresing the fare so their revenue would increase since the demand for public bus is quite inelastic for some.. si wen revenue increase, they would be able to recoup their losses..
next.. the future generation would not be able to understand the value of integrity.. since their parents or even their family members are allowed to cheat on such small issues of bus fare, these future generation would also follow suit.. They would be a bunch who would not care about being morally upright as their own parents sometimes do cheat (on bus fare) so when the future generation lies and cheats to their parents.. we know where all these started form (its called karma what goes ard comes ard).. talk abt being a gracious society when we dont even practise the basic value.. hmm...isnt it an irony?..well.. but of course.. there are some who may buck the trend therefore i am not entirely blaming the parents.. but what i am pointing out here is the importance for us to set a good example for our future generation.. by doing the basic things.. cox what they are may afterall reflect on us..
yada yada.. some of you may think.. who is this girl and why is she blabbering all these nonsence.. well for once.. i wanna be the girl who cares abt the society and i dont wanna be a self centered person anymore.. so now.. i am making a difference(i hope) by blogging abt my experinece and my tots abt it.. but are you?..
ps..i am still chnaging my writing style so yeah.. but at e momnet i tink i'll stick to this one.. hehe...
