forgot to blog something rather interesting today...
this young boy/girl was in the lrt with his/her grandma... when kids are really young... it's kinda tough to differentiate boy from girl and vice versa... okay... this little BABY... was in the pram la... but instead of being satisfied in the safe environment of the baby pram... he/she actually reached out and held on to the grab poles... the long vertical things that pple hold to steady themselves when the train moves? for the longest time... and when they shifted... he/she actually looked ard for a new pole to grab... i was so impressed... that the kid actually understood what they were for... or followed everyone else in doing it... unaware that being in the pram... he/she was probably very safe already... and that holding the pole wasnt gonna make much of a difference... somehow it kinda made me draw a parallel in our very lives... doing things for the sake of doing things... regardless of the reason... people conforming to expectations... looking at wat pple do... following suit... monkey see, monkey do... without consideration of whether that action is beneficial to us or otherwise... should i consider the baby smart in the fact that he/she was able to emulate others... grabbing the pole in the LRT like all the adults and older children do? or should i consider us adults naive for conforming to guidelines our predecessors set... who says you must hold on to the poles in the MRT/LRT? and working towards a "money-money-more-money" goal like it was the only thing we are living for? did i mention the baby was darn cute?! paedophile alert! ----Stef stopped rambling at 18:43 --Link to Post |
