Faking it

Often we heard that people in Jakarta is the most selfish human being, cruel, rude and don't care about other people at all. Including me; the writer of this post... Sadly...

But to tell you the truth, people in Jakarta can be very helpful towards other especially those who need help. Sometimes, if you are lucky enough to find these kind of people they will help you find your destination, or simply give you a seat while on public transportation and so on. Of course, we too can be nice towards other when we want to or perhaps we can be cruel as well. Depending on our mood.

However, many still taking advantages on other people's kindness. Once I read about a person faking his sickness on a crowded bus. Obviously he wish to get a seat and his wish came true. Other passenger quickly get up and give the seat to him. The funny thing was other passenger finally know that he was only faking it. Because once he got a seat he immediately chatting with someone through his cellphone. If you are that sick so you need to sit...do you really think you have enough energy to chat on the phone loudly and happily? The only call you are going to make probably to your family or worst...your doctor. So, people starting to snigger at him and he got embarrassed. He left his seat and get off from the bus after many passengers got angry.

The lesson from the above story: if you wish to get whatever you want with every way you can think of then you should learn to STAY FOCUS ON WHATEVER YOU ARE FAKING IT... so other people don't get suspicious and blow up your cover.
