I opened my eyes, last night, and saw you in the low light
Walking by the bay, on the shore
Staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore
You happened to look, and see, the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground

I need to stop sympathising in this sacarstic manner. But for now, its just that or nothing.

I believe that most things happen due to a cause, a cause no doubt caused by human beings themself. If you chose to cause that cause, well. Tough luck.

When we have a conversation, we choose our tone, language, especially words carefully. One single mistake could be fatal, so I've discovered. I'll just be thankful that to date, that fatal mistake did not occur to me.

So yeah, in my eyes, someone did make a mistake. The other party did get angry. And well, the most infuriating yet crudely amusing thing happened was that the kid yelled "Shut up" to the elder. And it was towards the end too, when the curtains fell.

A child who just happened to be there, and didn't know better because the child was not aptly taught. Simply put, not only it was rude, it displayed the child's character. There is something lacking there, no doubt. This thing called respect, is missing.

Education obviously does not reach out enough. No matter how 'elite' the education you receive, you'd never be able to learn the core values, and integrate it into your own system flawlessly. Even if you may be categorised as one of the so-called 'elites' by society, by the government. It remains to see that you'll be respected by others.

I'm baffled. Yet I see what my Dad means now. I feel pity for you. Because you cannot see what others see. Perhaps you do know, afterall, you're not dumb. But maybe because you think that their opinions should not be as highly regarded. Afterall, they did not get better schooling than you, surely they're dummies?

Well, I'm sorry (for you) if you think that way. Sincerely I am.

What goes around comes around. Just be ready for whatever that's coming round the corner.
