So, Junice and I went to Clementi Mall to catch a late dinner after finishing our econs mid-term paper. Before that, we dropped by popular to buy some stuff, and we went over to the lift to go to the basement of Clementi mall for dinner. There were two elevator shafts.
One girl was waiting for the other lift. Soon, what seems like seconds of waiting, our lift came, and we both stepped in, yet the other girl remained on her side, waiting for her lift to come. When our lift door closed, we started to comment how the girl was oblivious and didn't just board the lift etc.
But still, doesn't the girl's behaviour resemble life itself?
We usually wait for that one person in relationships, just like the girl waiting for her lift. Blinded, we do not see the other lift arrive, instead, we just waited patiently, eyes affixed. People may call us dumb for not ceasing the opportunity when it comes, some might criticise us for our lack in identifying what's wroth waiting for and what's not. Yet, we still choose to stay.
Maybe getting onto the other lift makes her look like she's not loyal? Maybe when someone's faithful they'll wait it out no matter how long the wait, how tiring standing there will be, how hurtful it is to hear criticism? In the end, we do not know, only the girl will.
Soon after, we reached our dining destination, and the conversation we were having came to a halt.
Who are we to judge?
