What An Animal

How inhumane can someone be? I don't understand how someone can be so heartless when even an animal can cry over a dead offspring. Since you're a baby, both mother and father had a great hope, that someday, the child would be a somebody. But what actually went wrong? Genetic might be the answer. The other would be the surrounding factors. Whatever it is, we are humans, so we should act like one.

I have a story to tell. There's this lady, lets just call her S. See, like many Malaysians, she struggles to keep her life going. She had two daughters. Like I said, life is not a bed of roses for her. So she had to do something to survive. A husband she has. But we have to understand that everyone has their own problems. So she decided to open up a stall in the city.

Everything was fine at first, but then something went wrong. The authorities came and asked her whether she has a license or not. Telling them the truth, she had to face the fact that she has to close the stall. But, like any other situation, she has a way out. Pay the man in charge, and she's off the hook. See, one tick.

Then, the authorities will come again, and again, and again. The man will come everyday to disturb this lady. Everyday, a sum of money would be paid, in return the man would let her away. Then, that sum of money is not enough. He wants more. But she doesn't have enough. So the guy sent her away. Not only that, the food was thrown away, in front of her very own eyes. All the things that she did goes down the drain, literally. Tick number two.

Turn out, there was this other lady, who open up another stall who was reporting about S to the authorities. She doesn't want any competition, so she kill her competitor. One of the way is to use the authority. Not only that, this lady would tell her customer that S's food is contaminated, and spoilt. Hm, tick, tick, tick and tick.

This is a true story. Okay maybe I add up here and there but 99.9% of it is true. How can you sleep at night knowing that you're making other people's life miserable? This is what's happening throughout the whole country. Even if you have to do your job, why do it in the most despicable way? God is watching. Be honest. One day, you'll get what you deserve. Help others to help yourself.
