Everyday nevertheless we will find ourselves critisizing the acts of others. The question that i ask myself constantly is 'Is it really that big a deal?' Every morning on my way to work i will manage to grab a copy of 'mypaper'. Apart from the daily news updates what always interest me is the STOMP 'Singapore Seen' segment where people post up pictures of what they encounter in their daily lives (The convenience of Camera phones). What has always amused me is Everyones ability to critisize those around us. Looking through the entire Stomp segment, it is mostly filled with people pointing out the errs of those who consume food within th MRT. Now don't get me wrong, coz i personally have never consume food in the MRT myself (with the occasional breath mint of course) But seriously.... do we really enjoy pointing out the errs of others so much that we have to highlight every single sighting of ones mistake regardless of what it is or consequence might arise from it?
From this i do recall a incident that i witnessed while in a friends car some time ago, a friend of mine (Lets call her Ms C) was driving me and a 'aquaintance' of mine (I would love to call him Keyboard Warrior Stupid Wuss but in this case i will just address him as K) home. Enroute, we came across a vehicle that was illegally parked on the roadside. Well yes, the vehicle did seem to to be of obstruction in a minor way but it was Mr K's reaction that caught my attention.
Mr K exclaimed:
"What the hell!!! An inconsiderate driver!! I am going to take a picture of it for STOMP! I may get a new phone out of it!!"
Is that what we have become? People that are totally oblivious of our own faults and can only see the shortcomings of others? It is dissapointing... as well as disgusting...
Come to think about it, Mr K have constantly told me previously (When we are on talking terms) on how he has been a good & devout Christian and that had propelled him into doing 'The right thing' everytime, how i should be more focused in my faith and do the same. Well Mr K, all i can say is even though i would not dare consider myself a very good and devout Christian, My Dad quoted me this phrase from the bible when i was a kid:
“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:5
Perhaps with this blog post i too have failed to notice the own log in my eye while commenting on the specks in others, But know this Mr K, at least i am constantly trying to remove the log in my eye.... are you?
