Is
it really too much to ask for a little courtesy from people? I give out
respect and utmost courtesy to others, not because I want them to do the
same, but because we all deserve that, rich and poor alike. I work in a
big hospital and sometimes it bewilders me how I've gone through the
day without losing my head or sanity. There are doctors, patients, and
coworkers who demand immediate attention, when there is only so much you
can do at a given time. I refuse to fall prey to any form of
discourtesy and rudeness. When you need something from me while I'm
talking to someone else, I don't think tapping your fingers incessantly
at the desk would make me give you my undivided attention. That won't
clearly work. When some doctors call out for their charts without saying
their pleases and thank yous, I look into their eyes and show my
feeling of disdain. Good heavens, grow up!
Inasmuch
as we are all free to voice out our opinions because we claim to live
in a democratic country, we are also very much responsible for our
thoughts and opinions. Take the internet for example, various netizens
mock, call out names, bully or criticize other people. What is beyond me
is that they do that under a pseudonym. When you can't bravely put a
name and face to those snide remarks, I don't think you have any
business complaining about whatever they do with their lives, not unless
it poses a grave threat to yours. Keep your comments to
yourself, after all that's very elementary.
But that's just me.
