I know Singapore's cutthroat culture of competition brings out the ugly side of people, but I am bewildered at how things have managed to deteriorate. What little I know was gleaned from deduction and simply being around for the past few days. After reading his two entries, I'm tempted to play the Devil's advocate and point out some deficiencies in the reasoning. Yet ultimately, I'm really not in a position to comment, even as an objective outsider. This is not my battle, and I have no desire for it to be mine. I do find it odd though, the way everything seems to have been blown out of proportion. Not at all the sort of behaviour I'd have expected from people I know really. Pragmatism trumps charity, if you ask me. Criticising other people for behaving uncharitably isn't the most charitable of actions. Anyway, one can only hope and pray for the best at this point. Well, now's as good a time as any to learn what the world's really like. This is what the system is like, and pastoral escapism isn't going to change things. That might sound awfully cynical, but to put it crudely: Shit happens, so deal with it.
