Arrogance

"From the standpoint of our basic humanity, our nationality or ethnicity doesnt really matter. As a youth, the important thing is to look to the future and strive to contribute to the happiness of others. Just do your best as a human being, in a way that is true to yourself."

"..National boundaries did not exist. People created them. Let us not forget to live with the awareness that we are linked together as human beings on a profound level that transcends national boundaries."

It is just tragic when we still hear educated youth today speaking ill of others based on nationality differences. It is easy to criticise others and mock them simply because we are more proficient in some ways, such as language. That is sheer arrogance. Singaporeans are very lucky due to our forefathers who insisted on us mastering both English and Mandarin. It is the environment that we grew up in that makes us who we are today.

Humility just isnt in some people at all. I wonder if such people deserve a 2nd chance as human beings even. lol. anyway, the law of cause and effect is very strict. we shall see.
