I have a friend from the province,whom I treat to have a snack at Jollibee.We have consumed our foods,then I thought he likes likes to drink some water in the corner fountain.I waited for him in our table,just to witness him opening his mouth wide facing the fountain,but no water was provided,so I went and ask him,what is the problem why he could not drink.I have just seen him having a wide mouth facing the fountain,without pushing his foot to make the water go.I just hold my breath not to laugh at him,to not let him get embarrassed.I have teach him the right actions to drink in the fountain.I thought,he likes to see a movie,so we went to the theater,to watch a movie.When we are inside,I was astonished to know that it was his first time in the theater to enter,that he was inquiring me why the place was already night time,that outside the theater was still daylight.I told him that was the normal style of theaters,so that we could clearly see the movies shown in the screen.When the movie starts,he was nervous of the firing of guns in thew screen,so he said to me to hide himself against the chair in front of us,so that he could never be hit by the bullets fired by the action movie we are watching.I am very upset to what he was doing,but I have nothing to do knowing he was a newbie inside a theater.The climax of the movie is having a last fight with the villain,so the star,jumps in the train,that when it was going to face in our chair,my friend for God sake run out of the theater for his life would be finish by the running train he was very nervous it would go out off the screen we are viewing.I tried to run after him,but he said that I am now in my own if I like to be alive,then follow him out because he does not like to die there inside the theater with the train coming out of the screen.Until these days,if I can remember back my old friend,I keep on laughing to his naive actions.

I have seen in some isolated areas in the Philippines and in a developing country. Their world is so backward and I can't even share the latest modern ideas. I guess we just need to educate them to catch up in modernization era.

That is very correct there Shavkat,that there are still individuals from remote areas here in the Philippines that needs to be guided the use of modern equipments and gadgets,because they have never seen it before in their entire life.The problem is they look so smart,that you are ashamed to tell them,if they know how to use it because they seem very sophisticated and knows everything,but my God they are a problem.and might have accident in using it.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes this happens with most of us and i think there are certain people who act smart in front of people so that people can have a good impression about them but in reality they have no individualism in them and that is the reason why they show off and do not know anything. They tend to act as if they know every thing but are oblivious of many stuffs. What say?

Thank you also Subhojit for participating my topic.That is right,some people are really smart looking,yet they are not ready to the place they are going.I salute to their willingness to adventure and explore what they like to discover.They might not have seen and use any modern electrical appliances,but they appear very simple and very educated,yet they are new to all things around the surroundings.

Oh, I'm taken aback! Is there really such a person? How old is he? Does he suffer any kind of mental illness? Whatever it is, he really needs help. I've met naive people but not that naive. The person you're talking about is really abnormal yet interesting. Did you try to help him in any way? I would've!

It happened a long time ago,and I am a bit younger but he was already I think around 24 years old at that time.He is normal in all aspect of his being a a friend.It just happened that he was really not ever had seen a movie in a theater, that he was a person from a remote province,that visited my family,then I am the one who likes to treat him,not knowing he was really naive of so many things in a big city.He even do not know how to used a toilet bowl,because when we have reach my house.He was telling me to use the comfort room,then I was also feeling the need to use it,but he was not yet finish,so I knock the door to let him know I also have to use the toilet,because he was already inside for almost an hour.When he was out,and thought that he was done,he whispered to me that he do not know how to flush the toilet bowl,so I have to do it because nature was also making me use the toilet.
