Recently during one of my numerous inter-city trips, while waiting at the airport, I happened to hear bits and pieces of a conversation between two middle aged men. No, I wasn't eavesdropping, but they just happened to be loud enough for me to hear a little. I never really understood what the real context of their conversation was, or what they really were discussing, but the one line that was pretty clear and slightly louder than the rest was, "These bloody Indians don't even respect each other". No, they weren't foreigners. They were true blooded Indians. I couldn't help but grin a little. That eventually spilled over to my own thoughts, on who really deserves my respect.
Now I am pretty sure no one really gives a rats ass if I respect them or not, and I don't mean to include friends and family. I was thinking more in terms of the so called Bloody Indian, or Stupid Indian as i would like to call them.
Thinking about it. How can we respect someone who has no self respect? How can we respect the person who litters and treats the road as his personal dumpster? Is it easy to respect someone who does not follow the lay? How about trying to respect the one who jumps a traffic light? Giving or taking a bribe does not earn much respect as well.
I find it hard to respect a person who does not keep his place clean. I find it even harder to respect someone who does not keep someone else place clean. Totally no respect for someone who swindles money and zero respect for those who treat some public space as their own.
So, is it any surprise that the Bloody Indian does not respect its own?
