Are The Misfortunes of Others For Your Entertainment?


"What would you do if you see someone who is going to walk into a puddle of spilled drink on a marble floor?"

Today, I was at Suntec City with the Testimony of Light group. We were on the third floor in the My PLAYGround section. While my friends were busy playing with the soft toy "claw machines", someone spilled what I believe was some chocolate bubble tea sort of drink all over the marble floor. Now, that corridor had many people walking pass it.

Now, any humane person would know to warn passer-bys that the floor is slippery and to watch their steps. But there were two mid-twenties looking ladies, presumably from the neighbouring shop, who stood by a pillar, which was 3 meters away from the puddle, and just watched as unsuspecting people walked and slipped. Thankfully, none of them fell.

As much as it is bad enough that they stood and watched, I even overheard these two ladies, if I would still call them ladies, talking about and seemingly predicting which person would slip and fall. Such anti-social behavior. As much as we try to deny it, such people do exist around us. And it's a pity that they are more plentiful than we expect.

The least we could do is to not be like them.

Question: What is your opinion of such people? Leave your answer in the comments.
