The Importance of Respect
The other day, when I was at the bank, I saw a man at the next counter, shouting at his wife. He was scolding her so loudly that everybody turned to look at them, and I could see that the poor wife was very embarrassed. She tried to calm him down but to no avail. I really pity the wife. Fancy marrying a jerk who doesn't show her any respect, especially in public. I don't think the man knew that it reflected very badly on him too, otherwise he wouldn't have done what he had done.
Sometime back, my mum was travelling on the MRT, and sitting opposite her, was a couple. The man was thin and the woman was fat. They were talking when suddenly, he reached into her blouse and caressed her breasts! My mum was shocked! The train was crowded at that time and those who were near them, also saw the "free R(A) show". The woman said something to the man and he withdrew his hand quickly, and he was smiling all the way! My goodness! Doesn't the man know the word "respect"? Did he think that it was very "man" to do that in public? Did he ever consider how the public might view them by doing that? "Mister, shame on you!"
Moral of the above stories: If you want respect, respect the others first, especially in public!
