DEGENERATION
01.19.06 (5:30 am)   [edit]
I've always believed we have been moving and evolving into a no-barrier, no-differences society, albeit slowly - something so intangible, yet wonderful at the same time. But tonight, I was again hit by the reality of degeneration, and I thought this should be in my own records to remember how naive I might have possibly been.
 
Was at the airport with a friend to chill out a little over a cuppa, when we shifted to a fast food outlet for my friend's late dinner. Halfway through, 3 dudes sat, of all places within the big and almost empty restaurant, right at the next table. One of them went for their orders, and the other 2 just set quietly by the table.
 
Was no big deal really - we just chatted happily - till all 3 of them tucked into their drinks, and started chatting, within earshot, in Malay. I was described as a weirdo and my friend a faggot. All other comments passed on us, I will censor here.
 
I'm cool with people saying whatever they want about me. I would also speak so about my dear friend. But masking malicious and racist remarks behind a presumedly foreign language to us was pure stupidity and insensitive. To top it off, it was done deliberately.
 
I cannot begin to describe my disappointment with what a small group of black sheeps can do to taint an entirely friendly exchange. My friend got so offended that he begged to leave the restaurant, despite me assuring that they were harmless. Fact is, we both felt insulted. Of all the years in school that I've learnt to be open to different cultures, made many good friends of different ethnicities and backgrounds, and of all the years at work and in the streets that I've learnt more about the various cultures and practices, made even more good friends that were non-my-race, today's incident was scarring.
 
It is entirely up to the individuals to think and do as they please, but they should also consider being responsible and bearing the same hurt when the same things are done to them.
 
What goes around, comes around.
=====================
Will be heading to the beach later again~! Ha~! Tis exciting cos of a, um... huge presence! Will reveal all that when I come back!
 
Sweet dreams cyberspace!
