Please give these seats to the Needy


















start off.. to make the blog.. .. less boring.... :D

I've had this 'discussion' with a friend on the bus sometime back, and i still think it's an interesting topic. As per the header, I'm sure everyone would say they would give their seats up, but what are your thoughts on someone who doesnt?

let's take for example, the bus is full, no seats. An elderly board the bus and stands besides a man who was sitting down. The man doesnt get up to give his seat.

So what are your first thoughts about this man?
I'd believe if this happens, everyone's first thought would be he's selfish, inconsiderate.. etc etc.

But have we thought about why he is doing this? is he sick? tired? has he worked 24hrs the day before?

How can we know which person is more 'needy'? are we to judge someone by actions that we would do, but they didnt?

if someone gives up a sit to a needy, we can say he's 'good'. but can we start naming people 'bad' when they dun?

"unless i'm saving my seat for 'needier' people" <-- you mean HOT BABES?

Anyway, it's hard to draw a clear line when it comes to such cases. Sometimes we see old uncles/aunties sitting a in a bus, with their feet up against the front seat. Who the hell wanna sit beside him/her? So we end up standing ... who are the needy ones in this case?
