An old man came up and standing a cross of me, he has stand in front of school boys. They are playing on each other. Laughing and cheerful. "Excuse me, may i take a seat?"
They heard but keep playing. "Hey boys, would you give me a seat?" with high tone.
They were silence, a boy stood up and give an old man a seat.
About 30 minutes, a pregnant lady has standing in front of an old man. With gentleman attitude, he has offering his seat to this pregnant lady. And she refuses gently, make a boy beside an old man stood up and give her a seat. She thanked him, and took a seat.
Bus trans Jakarta has moved slow with over capacity.
And another old man stood in front of me, i was offering a seat for him. He thanked me, but still stood up and he said,"Thank you son! It is very kind of you! But i am sorry i could not taking your seat. I would but i won't! I am going to be out on next 2 bus station up a head".
Feel proud and ashamed in the same time, but hey, kindness should be spreading all over this bus Trans Jakarta. When i saw a man like me has standing up for an old woman next to me.
If you were on that situation, would you give a seat to an old man/woman, pregnant lady, women with kids or disable people?
Only your heart could answering it with real action.
:)
sure i would
