An elderly couple wanted to go for a morning walk on top of the hills so they woke up early one morning and took a bus to the hilltop station. A few moments after they alighted at their destination, a boulder came thundering down the slope and crashed into the bus, smashing it into smithereens. There were no survivors.
"If only we didn't got down," said the elderly woman.
Usually, people will be thanking the heavens for their good luck that they got off the bus and managed to survive. Why then is the elderly woman thinking the opposite? It is simple. If the elderly couple hadn't got off, the bus would be able to drive on continuously and missed the crashing boulder.
We should always be mindful of others when something happen and not simply just think only of ourselves. Get out of our own world and empathize with those that are in trouble. Bring out the kindness in you. Show the world that the Singaporean Altruism is real.
