Accept the ugly for your own sake, as written by Jeremy Lim and doing the right thing

Jeremy is only 15 and wheelchair bound but he has passed on to us such gems of wisdom in his articles.

It is true that ugly people abound, especially in Singapore. Our famous areas are in driving and travelling. He advocates the response of using reverse psychology as shown in his anecdote at the end of this particular article. It will achieve the aim desired for.

Also, he pushes forth the idea to treat their behaviour as transparent. Indeed, by acting oblivious to their mannerisms, we don't give them the satisfaction that they have attracted the attention hoped for in the first place. By not acting negatively towards them, we are really frustrating them and they'll cease their ludicrous antics. Sometimes nonchalance and indifference do make an impact on such urchins!

Sometimes it is so difficult to do the right thing. People make you feel that you are making an unnecessary move!

A woman in KL was trying to get vehicles to give way to her emergency situation but this stupid black car didn't and even beat her up for doing the right thing! What audacity! They followed her to her destination and demanded more from her. After having vandalised her car earlier, they even asked for compensation on their companion's injury. What boldness!

To make things worse, the police officer scolded her for being impatient as to honk at cars. What appalling behaviour! She had to send her maid who had collapsed to the hospital, for goodness sake! Does he even know what the whole matter was about in the first place? Where is the justice?! It is clearly the occupants of the black car at fault here. Hello, what was he thinking then?!

I hope the police department does something about this repulsive response from the officer. She shouldn't even bear any foolishness for acting in the way she did. She was in the right after all!

Another similar incident is on animal abuse. Rita Gonsalvez was trying to explain to a motorcyclist who had knocked a kitten down about his wrong conduct but he rode off without blinking an eye at what he had done to an innocent living being. To make things worse, the policemen she spoke to appeared indifferent to the situation.

What is happening to people nowadays? However, the burning question on my mind is really 'What is happening to figures of authority?!' Their lacklustre response is really repulsive! They've betrayed people's perception of their goodness, justice and righteousness!
