Realised I had not been visiting this site for a relatively long time. To be honest, half of it is attributed to heavy workload, but half of it is because there is nothing much happening in my life, except the gaming parts, so there was little I could write about. After all, I avoid tackling big issues/topics in this self-focused little space over here.

But I was getting abit emo today. Are we, as a human race, progressing? Many people will probably say yes to that question. But is technological development the sole measure of progress? Unfortunately… not… Perhaps we had taken a step back in terms of cultural development in many aspects.

Here are some really common examples I will like to highlight. First up is the “All your paths are belong to us!” mentality. Look look look… at this pathway that is clearly designed to fit 2 person side by side width-wise. And then there are 2 people approaching, friends definitely, else they wouldn’t be talking jovially to each other. It is only common courtesy if someone is on the opposite direction that you give way… (vulgarities censored) People do not have to walk in parallels to talk, and even if you do, it won’t kill you to step aside for a moment. Do you expect to step onto grass/mud/whatever to accommodate other people who refuse to shift their heavy masses of lumbering bodies? No right… so don’t for one moment expect others to do that for you.

The second situation occurs frequently as well. Its the “All your seats are belong to us!” mentality. You always see that on public transports don’t you? What is happening to the morality of our society? I cannot judge people because I know as a person, I am not perfect. But there must be a basic level of cultivation that we should have attained, do you think not?
