Singapore OK... or Not? Episode 3 : Compassion

Welcome to the another episode of Singapore OK... or Not? I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that this series explores some of the not-so-nice attitudes that Singaporeans have that make Singapore an unpleasant place to live in from time to time. It does not involve news items. Those reflections will not have this heading. Anyway, I got the inspiration of this post by talking to my friend. This is a very important and common thing, so why didn't I come to the realization earlier?

I will give you one example. When I see my friend on the road now, they just pretend to miss me when I actually responded. Is this going to be a heartless society where no one cares about each other any more? I encourage all of you to acknowledge the people around you, even if you are in a conversation, a smile, nod would be more than enough to warm another's soul. Compassion is no longer a thing of helping others when in need or donate money. It is a broad term.

We have come to the end of another episode of Singapore OK... or Not? As usual, you can send in your thoughts as comments in the box below or click on the link! Although this a short episode, I hope you still bring home a valuable lesson. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next episode.
