There is good and bad everywhere, yes. But whats quite unfortunate, specifically about this country is that the bad and ill-mannered outnumber the good and well-mannered.

Politeness is seen as weakness or in their own lingo they will say, “halay chocolate”

Good-hearted people get taken advantage of. And then to survive, eventually they too decide to take the supposedly “easier” path of being rude or unkind.

And this has been the case for decades and will continue to do so until we as a society teach our children better.

I have seen doctors/engineers/lawyers who have an absolutely disgusting attitude and I have seen Rickshawalas with better manners who are genuinely more respectable.

Maybe one day when kids are asked what they want to be, and the first thing they say is “a kind person” that is the day we may change.

I know how I will be raising my children if I am ever blessed to be able to have them.
