Every morning without fail I will see the same Malay guy sweeping along the walkway from my home to the MRT station. And almost every time I will feel like saying "hello" or "good morning!" because I think that is the least he deserves for getting up so ruddy early in the morning. However, every single time that thought comes it gets extinguished by the million other things that pops up in my head and I would pass by with barely a word.
On my way back home after band today at 11 plus, I saw the cleaner sweeping leaves from the road and I thought to myself "that's really one hardworking guy."
And that's about the time I made up my mind to at least greet him the next time I see him.
Because, I think we shouldn't be nice to same few people when we can share the joy with so many others.
That's a really wonderful thought.
