was on my way home when i saw a disturbing scene.
i didn't use the usual mrt entrance today, instead, i crossed to the opposite one.
then i saw that there was an old lady, who was a cleaner with SMRT.
she was trying to replace the already filled dustbin with a new bag.
however, since the dustbin was so full, she had no strength to lift the metal bin (a smaller bin instead the big bin where the trashbag is tied to).
it was already after office hours where everyone was just trying to rush home.
there was no one to help her, i guess cause everyone felt that it is unecessary to dirty our hands.
but that was not the worst...
people that walked pass and had rubbish to throw continue to dump their rubbish in, without even looking at the poor old lady.
there was another dustbin, which was nicely placed just 0.5m away and they couldn't reach anywhere further to throw their trash. (how thoughtful!!!!!)
i admit, i wouldn't stop and put down all my things just to help the old lady, but i wouldn't just ignore her pressence and continue to dump my rubbish in when she was already having difficulty lifting it up.
also, it made me think about how useful old people actually are.
yes, they are old, but no, they never give up.
with the little strength they have left, they continue to work in the society and do whatever they can to contribute towards it.
i hope that i will be able to do that too when i'm old. (not literally clearing rubbish, but contibute to society)

my little insight on what happened today.
i think i'm starting to blog again to get myself away from the piles of work i have. :)
