where's your courtesy?

I really need to put this down before I feel the scribbling is too dated to be posted.
(12.35 am isn't that late anyway)

I was stringing these words together in my mind (I was rushing to go out today. Read : LATE), I was contemplating something like; "I don't really like KL city people" to graced the page header. Well, that is too much of a stereotyping. A lot of KL city people I know are very down to earth, and the fact, that I am half a KLites makes it some sort of betrayal. I got stuck there.

Just some thoughts I was thinking about today and much lately. I REALLY don't get it when sometimes one asks for a favour from you, you had to apologetically reply for not being able to offer any help. And the person who asked you for a favour takes it for granted that you are supposed to help, you are supposed to say sorry when you can't offer any help.

There is no basic courtesy to say; THANKS, it's okay / I'm sorry to bother you / appreciate your effort for trying to help me figure it out. But in return, he/she expects a sorry from you.

It's like when someone (accidentally) knocked you down and expect words of remorse that your small-being entwined with his/her bigger existence in this universe. -_-

It's not like I want to do certain things in exchange of words of gratitude, or some sort of material repayment of kindness. That is totally not my point. Still I would like to you to ask yourself > Do we do good in hopes of our kindness repaid? I know my answer, and that is the reason I sleep well at night.

Sadness surge my heart when I have to face these cold hearted human. (maybe cold hearted is a word too intense to display my emotions, but you get the point).
More so conflicted than sad, at most times - because I do not know if I am like them, do I think like them? Should I act like them? Society shun on those who don't act and think like them, if a majority part of society act the same way, does it make right?

True humane emotions are (sometimes) lost in this rat race. Barren and worthless.
