What goes, comes around!

Well, we had our speaking exam today and I got the topic “People don’t exactly care about each other anymore”. When I gave it a thought, I realized it is actually true. It’s almost as if people don’t have the time or the reason to stop and think about others.

In this competitive world, we are all determined by the expectations and success of others. We have so much to do, so many dreams to fulfill, so many expectations to meet up and so many new things to learn that we become self-obsessed. We forget that we have a responsibility to care about others and be considerate. We fail to stop and think about the people and things around us. We become so self-centered that we only see ourselves and our goals and in the course of reaching success we shatter the dreams of so many others. And YET, we somehow expect people to care about us and reflect upon our emotions!

So maybe it’s time for us to change our paradigm on this. It is good to be self-absorbed up to some extent, but if we want our feelings and our rights to be considered in front of others, we need to start treating the others the same way. “What we give is what we get” so we got to start from the man in the mirror and start thinking about others and treat them the right way. And then, we could expect the same treatment from others J
