It's scary looking at how students are studying nowadays. Compared to those days back in my time, it wasn't this difficult. What scare me most is how they would be as an individualist when they grow up and become and adult. The already living ones are inevitable, I wonder what will happen next.

Working in customer service environment and having a huge circle of friends, I have first hand on experience with people who are highly educated but at the end of the day, the way they carry themselves are pathetic yet they seem to be proud of it. Well, I guess that's human for you, in a way.

What's the picture you get when you see a Teacher? They are educaters right? They should be patted on the back for all the hard work educating our children today and ought to be given the utmost respect. Then again, Teacher(s) too have their ugly side. It's so fugly that you will eat out your lungs when you come hear of it. I have been there. *chuckles*

Before I go further, this entry is not directing at anyone lah.. I'm blogging in general and from my own personal experience. Not sure if you all have experienced before, but if you do...come come! Share lah! Don't malu-malu! *winks*

Moving on, what's your impression of a Businessman? They should be rich, always wearing a tie (most of them lah..), always chasing after time. They will speak at the utmost conversational way possible when interacting. Right? Have you seen their reaction when they don't get what they want? Been in the extreme behaviour they potray at the most trivial matters? I have been there.

Actually, the above is just an example of what I'm about to talk about in depth.
Here come's the real issue..

Does being educated means one can choose to manipulate others?

Does being educated means you can hurt others?

Does being educated gives you the means to insult others?

Manipulate, hurt and insult. The three things that I commonly see among educated people. Sad but true. For a moment I thought these educated people ought to be a role model to those illiterate ones. Because they can THINK, READ and WRITE... and most importantly, BEHAVE better. And more importantly, they KNOW and they are AWARE of what actions they take and how it would have an impact on others but they simply DON'T CARE. Not unless they are the ones getting manipulated, hurt and insulted.

That's where you see the fugly side. The drama, the strong words, the outburst of emotions and bla bla bla... and they blame it on everyone else except themselves. Some even try the "sympathy" tactics. Get sympathy and empathy. Sounds absurd right? But it's true...

Well, this is just something I'm sharing with you. Ponder about it.
