We have a place that we spend so much time. This place is the place we experience at least one time in our life. That is subway. We can’t deny that so called underground or subway gives us convenient life. But manner in there is not going with our development. We should keep our manner in the subway because of morality and international image and dignity.
It’s very human nature that if we beat someone, that person beat you back. Surely, we are not childish to act like that because we have another way to prohibit bad behavior by law and sometimes our hospitality like ocean but there is tacit rule if you are educated person. It is important not to cross that line. In the subway, that line is quite talk if you have a call. For example, you’re reading in the subway but besides you, someone keeps irritating you by loud phone call. You might piss up because you might think that’s not his place. Like this, public place is very entangled with subtle string; that’s not my place but also you too so it’s hard to guess what they think at my besides. Therefore, you should have more careful in behaving at the subway.
As I say about second, it fall down our international image. If you’re foreign, you easily find the example. My school professor Gord Sellar talks to us that he feels anger in the subway several times. Hitting other person’s shoulder is very common mistake we’re doing. When it happens, it’s not tough thing to apologize to victim. This kind of small thing can ruin our country’s reputation. If they live in our country long, they might understand how much our citizen has kindness to other, even they are foreign. But they don’t know this fact because he/she might have first visit and culture difference. This is so basic thing and don’t need any effort to do it. If we do our kindness in this small place, it will affect very wide than we expect. Why should we not to do that?
Last thing is our dignity. To disturb other person’s activity by my selfish behavior in the subway is debasing our dignity by myself. There is research from psychological analyst that we have five step of maturity. In there, at the top, it shows us that our ultimate happiness come from self-satisfaction. You don’t need to find that far. Actually that’s on your nose. You can get your ultimate happiness in this small thing, manner.
In the society, everything needs to be touched by our hand; we produce everything even that is place, not a material. That means we have ability to change by our own hand. What do you think about joining in this small but wonderful cornerstone to make our society’s atmosphere better?
