Confessions of a softie?

OK...the title may sound weird but I guess that's the best confession I can think of so far..come to think of it..it is not really a confession. I am guessing this is quite common among all of us..compassion. Whenever I see old or disabled people on the streets busking for a living or just selling stuff like tissue paper, I cant help but feel very bad for them. In a way I have the feeling that it is my fault they are in this situation. Even after passing them for a long time, I cant help but think about them again. Sometime its just so distracting, I begin to wonder if this "softness" is a disadvantage.
Another aspect of my "softness" is that I'm easily how should I put it,"pushed around"?Well at least I was during my primary school days. Do not be fooled by my "massive"(so as some say) frame, I am actually a gentle giant...Still, I think everyone knows that by now. I feel that I should stand up for myself more often than not, but alas, I cant for no reason.
I guess that concludes my confession..bye?

  1. Nothing like empathy and feelings for others disadvantaged. I can think of a number of ways to make you more "aggressive" if that's what you are looking for. But I think it best that I pass along these tips AFTER Sec 1. I like a certain degree of passivity in the classroom.
