A lesson i learnt, and believe in.

This is a powerful question, that struck me as i watched I not Stupid 2 on VCD.

So often, are we so quick to put the blame on someone..
So the saying goes, it takes 100 good deeds before you get remembered as a good person,
but just 1 bad one to be a bad person.

People tend to look at the bad part of people, the rotten part.
What do you do when the apple in your fridge becomes rotten?

Do you throw it away? And have nothing left?
Or do you peel away the rotten part, so you can eat the rest of the apple?

On a sidenote,

I believe in the tidal wave of love.

A single loving act, can be passed on to another person.
For example, a cashier at macdonalds gave you $2 extra in change.
You can give it back, or just smile at your luck.

But what happens when you take it and walk away?
The cashier person takes the blame, and his mood is spolit, his whole day may be ruined.

Lets take this a little further. Lets assume he meets up with his gf, and he's silent throughout the entire date. His girlfriend may turn up to be in a bad mood too, and this may go on and on.

Give back the $2 i say. It may not be worth much to you, probably even nothing. But you could prevent a bad day from happening, or just make someone's day a bit better.

You get what i mean?
