Conclusion? There is none. I don't think anything is concluded yet. But no, I am not satisfied with the results. Some things are beyond my control. Even if I could do something about it, pride prevents me from doing anything. The sadness is suspended. I can't bear to resolve it.
The OTHER one is a welcome distraction.
And if you want to know what this is about, ask me. Don't play guessing games by yourself.
On a happier random note, I went jogging on Sunday and I couldn't help but be amused at how all my fellow joggers stayed well on their side of the footpath. No renegade reckless jogger hogging the road.
I think it boils down to the order of society that has been impinged on us. Singaporeans are, on the whole, quite orderly. Or, we are taught to follow what Our Uncle Sam tells us to do. We follow instructions quite well and we are taught to obey the rules. Want Singaporeans to be polite? Start a "Courtesy begins with me" campaign. Want Singaporeans to speak Mandarin? Start a "Speak Mandarin" campaign. Want them to breed more? You can guess what happens next.
I don't think it reflects on how polite we are as a society. It's a mere ability to follow and to execute without that much thinking.
I am too tired to follow this train of thought.
