the rise of moronism...

i'm trying to keep this post light & simple cos' i was complained that my posts were too deep & heavy sometimes...so let me try... ;)

i'm laughing not because i'm happy but because i'm laughing of what the world has turned into today. there's a rise of moronism these days, it's the new "trend", and i'm certain of it.

while i can't really do anything about it, the only thing i could do is to laugh about it. laugh about their self-righteousness, their silliness, their naive-ness, their ill-mannerism, their smart-aleck attitude... anyway, it's a good laugh when you see people running in the circle and thinking that they got it all right. although i would try to help to point the right direction, or, at least i think it's the right direction... but somehow they prefer to have their "principles". so i could only sit back & watch, perhaps, with a pack of potato chips in my hand and enjoy the drama unfolding by itself.

some morons are just beyond salvation as i relate to certain events in my work. there are smart-alecks that think they are the smartest of all and as well ill-mannered. they refuse any suggestions and only want things to be their way but when things turn out to be opposite of what they had expected, i would then be called in to solve their woes. that's a good side of the story... the bad side? they would blame me for not enthusiast enough in promoting my advises and failed to convince them to take up my offers. i could only laugh with my tears. nothing more, damage has been done. i've never called any of my clients names but this time they do deserve a new name that starts with B. they irked me more than the dog's poo on my bed.

many kids and including adults are becoming mannerless these days too. they call it an "attitude", since when being rude is a cool thing? i always get people adding me over facebook or friendster without leaving a note or a simple "hello"... sorry, i don't add strangers that has no manners... :P what happen to our good old society with good courtesy & etiquette? i was brought up with 2 phrases in mind, say "please" whenever you ask for a favour and say "thank you" whenever you receive kindness but i hardly hear it these days. and, i could hardly see people returning kindness or a simple hello when is being greeted too. does picking up our 100g mobile phone equal to weight-lifting in olympic when we're to return a missed-call? a lof of people take things for granted and consider it as their birth-right, disregarding other's presence and value. i guess they deserve their price tag, except, i'm on "sale" 4 seasons a year...

who should we blame? well-mannered has everything to do with how we're being brought up and our surrounding. should we blame our parents? or the globalization? american tv/movies that promote f-words as a daily conversation? internet that expose us to profanity? frankly speaking, there's no one else except ourselves in the mirror... simple rule is, don't treat people the way that we don't wish to be treated.

without etiquette & manners, we are nothing more and probably less than an animal. at least, my dog wags his tail when he sees me or when i give him food; my cat purr when i hold her or talking to her. so, are we human being still a supreme being compare to other living things on earth?

yes, we're still a lesser moron, when compares to trees... let's give ourselves a pat on the shoulder, say "thank god" and have a good laugh ;)

to end this, i present you the latest lewd act of our so-called leaders in the country, our members of parliament from the ruling party - barisan nasional: barisan nasional backbenchers club deputy chairman and chief minister of pahang. they said, they didn't do it. maybe i've chinese eyes can't see clearly. you guys judge for yourself... ;)
