The tragic thing about this world is that we're so rarely right and yet when we are, we mess it up in a moment of over-passion...
Like this uncle in NTUC just now. There was a lady ahead in the queue and she was the usual time waster. First she was getting picky over some free gift.. and then later she was accusing the cashier for not returning her NETS card.
While everything happened, this guy in front of me made all sorts of expressions of annoyance. As the lady left, he let loose an outburst "tsk, what the hell!"
He went on ranting about how he saw her daughter keep the NETS card and that she should have apologized for accusing the cashier and holding everyone back.
Yeah sure, it all made sense. But he wasted it all with his outbursts of anger. It becomes apparent that this guy simply could not tolerate the lady's face or something, exposing himself when he added
"i cannot see the reason why her face was so long, it was so long you know?"
I know man, most of the time we're personally offended but we want to mask it with all sorts of righteous reasons.
It's also good to note that we're usually offended because we're prideful.
