Cheated

I encountered this situation today...



When i was walking to the parking lot, i walked pass a malay guy mid-aged 30. He was talking on the phone and i just ignored him and walked on....suddenly he shouted at me...at first i thought it was nothing, but suddenly i stopped and he managed to catch up with me...He started listening to my stories, and i just stood there doing nothing but listening...He asked for RM17 to buy the car battery, which he said he was lacking of money...Initially, I didn't trust him and i wanted to just ignore and walk off, but then he was begging me non-stop and finally i sympathised him and gave him the RM17....



I don't know what I'm doing was right or wrong, I just couldn't tell the consequences I will face and what will happen in the future...I just didn't know how to react that quick at that moment, somehow i felt that there was like i got cheated >.<



This world is not like the world it used to be, where people are kind hearted and willing to help each other without concerning of backgrounds, how much money you have and so on....but now it has changed...



The society tends to be so selfish, not thinking of others...seeing someone in need but just refusing to lend a hand... This is because of the changes in the world, economic changes where people lose jobs, couldn't get what they want and started to become greedy....People in the past used to be generous and sharing, but now they are greedy and selfish, refusing to help and only care for themselves....



The world and the society has now turned into a century and decade of darkness where people cheat others to gain benefits and the victims suffer the pain...it's just getting wild...regardless of what age they are, they cheat those innocent citizens causing some of them to commit suicide or even got killed...



Some activities such as Cheating, Imposting, Kidnapping demanding for ransom, prank calls have been becoming frequent nowadays, causing many people to suffer and unable to live in peace...the harmonous atmosphere is gone...regardless of what age they are, they will cheat you no matter how...



I couldn't differentiate what I did was right or wrong...I do not know whether the man cheated or not....I do not know why I borrowed him the RM 17, I do not know why my instincts made me react like this....thus, it has became complicating for myself.....I started to think more and more, making myself confused...



What can be done to save the society....? Can't we have the kind heart to help? Is it true that we can't be merciful anymore?



Things changed...this world became cruel....leaving no one sympathised...
