Bus Incident

I am so angry. 1st Aunt and Mum reprimanded me for not minding my own business when I did what I think was right on the bus ride home just now. I really gave my action consideration before executing it.

A young couple in their late teens were hugging each other and smooching fequently along the ride. They were seated right in front of me! It was impossible to fake ignorance to what they were doing. So, I played the staring game - it did not work. The lecherous young man was simply ungratified with his desires. I pity the girl who was his prey.

In my mind, I was convinced that I now carry the identity as a teacher and as a civil servant. As such, I had the sense of responsibility to correct the wrong action. I tapped on their shoulders and said in Mandarin, "Please do not treat us as transparent." Both of them replied okay and stopped.

I am angry with Aunt and Mum's narrow-mindedness - if every person remains oblivious to what they know is morally wrong, what will become of our next generation? Our poor children!
