Inconsideration thoughts by the able-bodied?

Tweet

I have seen for myself how the physically-challenged were "challenged" in the subway lifts, the train itself and also in the malls too. For instance, the lifts are basically meant for the old and aged with movement difficulties, people with baby prams and, most important of all, the physically disabled who have no other means of reaching to the concourse or platforms, other than by utilising the lifts. But most times, I witness that the youngsters and people with no difficulties in walking were rushing and crowding into the lifts when clearly, there are those with movement restrictions around who are in need of the lift space being deprived of the usage, only to be told:" Wait for the next lift!" straight in the face point-blank! Now, are we living in a so-call 'gracious' society, where paying lip-service of helping the less fortunate is only done only when the VIPs are there to grace a whatever-theme-is-called event, or is it suppose to be done sincerely from the heart? Whatever it is, be it anywhere it may be, being considerate at all times to anyone is DEFINITELY a must. Especially to the less fortunate, we must never forget that they had been deprived of a part of their body through circumstances that they do not wish for, and learning to accept them into the society is also a right that they are entitled to, just like you and me. Hence, a little thought of consideration by everyone does go a long way for them. Maybe if you were to read this now, do sit back a moment and think: When one day we are old, or some unfortunate events that rendered us to rely on others for help, & if the above-mentioned scenarios were to happen to you, won't you feel frustrated and upset like what the less fortunate are going through too?
