You know when you were young (or for some, even now), your parents always said how they want their kids to have moral values, to be generous, to be kind, to be compassionate, to be giving.
Yet parents don't even display these values in their everyday life, they don't show their children the way to uphold these so called, "values" that they want their children to have.
What's the point of a mother telling her son, "You should be compassionate and generous", yet when walking along the street, ignores the desperately hungry beggar?
Take for example a family I came across at the MRT. The parents and two kids. An old beggar behind the railing on the steps. A glance of disapproval, a glance of distaste, then carrying on walking as though the beggar didn't exist.
I donate to that old man whenever I can. That day, all I had in my wallet was 50c, but I gave that to him.
*edit*
Offensive to some people, so I cut out 2/3 of this post.
