when God seems a tad unfair..
i spent the best part of my night (yesterday) with Bala.
i’m sure many of u would recognise him if u’re in bangsar a lot.
he’s the guy who walks around selling woodcraft.
he’s tall, his body is twisted in odd angles, he’s got a problem with his speech.
little do people know that he is also friendly, kind, big hearted, happy and lonely.
i’ve always seen him around as i’m always around bangsar as well.
and since i had some spare time on my hands, i decided to keep him company as he goes around bangsar to ‘work’.
i wanted to help him sell some woodcraft but he told me to walk on the pavement when he went in to shops to talk to people.
it would look too much like i was his ‘boss’.
and sure enough, a lot of ppl noticed that i was tailing him and i got some pretty odd stares.
in mere 45 minutes, i got a secondhand experience of how cruel mankind can be.
one man tried to run Bala down, many people glared at him, some shoo-ed him away, one family refused to look at him.
and i wonder, if u can afford to have dinner or drinks in places like Social, Hush, Madam Kwans, Chawan, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, Dragon (i think thats the name.. some snobbish looking chinese restaurant beside the Talk), why cant u just spare ten bucks for ONE person?
right right i know there are HEAPS of other people coming around asking for a donation..
characters ranging from kids to blind men to old monk looking chinese men
but i am telling u this right now, its Bala that needs the money.
he’s not like how the Slumdog Millionaire kids were like.
no. his story is different.
his parents did not want to take care of him so they made him move out to earn a living.
and of course no one wanted to hire him in due to his physical condition.
so he’s renting a place in brickfields and selling his woodcraft to support himself.
and because the past few days saw rainy nights, he’s not earning enough.
and because of that he’s got to sell his phone.
it broke my heart when he was telling me how much he treasures his phone (its just some normal phone no one in the materialistic world would care less for)
and here he is, in the middle of it all, feeling sad that he had to sell his phone whilst telling himself that its for the best, its for the better and that he can always live without it.
omg i’m tearing i’m tearing…
i offered to buy him drinks, to bring him for some desert and even to buy some woodcraft off him to compensate for the loss..
he said, “NO!”
he was even thoughtful enough to try to make me sit at Starbucks to rest because it is ‘my kind of place’ (the uppity class place)
was talking to stinky after that at the mamak and i started crying.. sigh~ embarrassing a……. i so the emo
o.O
people stared at us.
they pointed at us.
they openly made fun of us and him.
i just glared at them.
its ok.. there’s karma, there’s karma.
what on earth did he do to deserve all this?
he did not ask for it
he certainly does not deserve it
so why?
u tell me God is always fair.
how fair can he be when things like this happen?
what about those severely handicaped people?
what did THEY do to deserve a life of ‘imprisonment’?
at least one thing’s for sure, these people have a heart of gold.
they are kind, they are thoughtful, they have a pure heart.
unlike the rest of the world who’s always so caught up with themselves.
(yea i know i’m guilty of it as well)
they’ve got to go thru life learning things the hard way when half the snobbish people in the world knows nothing about what life is.
speaking of which..
i’m having the priviledge of my life working with a few quite ‘mature’ people.
they not only backstab, they bitch, they bite, they stomp, they grab….
-.-”
quite a bunch.
and Bala seems ten times more mature than these people who are so called ‘experienced’ and mature.
my ASS!
i cannot believe how downright wormish these people can be!
one will be bitching upstairs, another downstairs.
they literally FIGHT to be in charge.
they try their very best to remind people of how good they are (more like by force)
they are rude as hell.
they are as fake as stick-on nails.
they try to lobby people against others.
they say mean things about others just because they want to later take on that person’s position in the company..
wtf~
they should get a life, grow some brains, and grow up!
i can assure u that even 5 year olds have more sense and brains than the jokers i’m working with…
*grumble grumble*
no wonder ppl say office politics are shit..
these ppl are worthy to run for PM!
ha ha ha…
haih~
there aint such thing as fair.
edit: dont u think that if given the chance, people like Bala would strive and achieve and appreciate the opportunity these ungrateful wormish ppl are taking for granted?
