This is a general post . I am not talking about any person in particular ( make no mistake) but making an observation for social cause!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Presently, I am at a place where majority ( not all) of people are honest, law abiding, non manipulative ( with word or behavior) and are just decent humans who do care for their country and other people. It so interesting when we talk or see them behave .
1) Believe it or not, I rarely seen anyone cross the road without a traffic light , even if there is No Police!
2) I rarely see people just throw away their cigarette butts, or trash everywhere ( they throw in garbage can)
3) One day I actually asked someone , don't you guys ever spit? ( as I rarely see anyone spitting in public) .
Answer I got was
" I spit on a piece of paper/tissue and throw in garbage.
Else spitting in public can carry germs to others"
4) If you ask them a challenging question most of them will answer you. Not attack you. Am not kidding.
5) It is amazing how some people I met on the streets ( who doesn't know me at all ) , open up their personal life and talk freely ( even family life, health, what their brother did to him or even money matters) . It so enriching to talk and learn from such.
6) I seen in bus and other places , when someone innocent was trying to get bullied by a thug .. several people stood up againt the thug to drive that guy away.

Sometimes it is interesting to ask ourselves ( as Human )
i) what is really Life/Living?
ii) is life really about Houses, cars or status
iii) is it survival of the fittest ( try to outsmart or beat
others )
OR
i) what is my duty to me , country and world ?
ii) what am I living for ( is it car, house, money, prestige )
iii) should I try to coexit or try to outsmart others ..
iv) what if I die tomorrow ( any of us can die anytime) ?
When I compare above behaviors with the usual Asian/ Sri Lankan way to do things ... I often wonder.. oh my poor country where are we going wrong !
ps : Once again, this is a general post. I target no person or individual by any means and posted this for deeper thinking.
