One night, while watching a
movie, I noticed a group of guys, they were four actually. A typical office guys wearing long sleeves and
short sleeves and neck ties were already removed sat beside us. While inside
the movie house, the fourth member was sitting in front of them. He was
separated from the group. While watching the movie, I noticed the man in front of him
always looking back and hitting the back chair with towel or something and saying something
that I can’t hear because he was two aisles away. But I can sense that he was
mad at the guy who were separated, and we don't know why. Maybe because the guy hit or his foot maybe touched
lightly the chair in front of him. A reason that the man continue to look back.
I can sense trouble and we were disturbed by his action. The “separated guy” I
will call him, was just simply watching, no comment, no action (deadma). And to
my surprise the girl beside her was angry too. I don’t know and I was curious
so we listened discreetly to the conversation of the two couple beside him,
(Usyoso kami). The woman keeps on complaining about how the guy smells. So, the
“separated guy” has bad odor, she was complaining and she wanted to confront
the guy to move out. But the man was saying leave him alone. All throughout the
movie, me and my friend were disturbed by the actions of this people. The “separated
guy” was so ashamed, he knows I think what was happening and we know he heard
the complain of the woman, because we at the back and hears everything. I
noticed the guy was searching for the man in front of him after the movie when
the light went on, because there was a scenario also. But no fighting happened.
I pity the guy because he moved
out quickly after the movie. We also noticed he left the group immediately. He might not
want what was happening. He was totally embarrassed. Was that a bullying
scenario? I was thinking, if they talked to the person quietly? What if the guy
was sick and suffering from unknown disease that causes him a foul odor? Why
was the man in front of him was also mad?
One thing for sure, we should
also be conscious about our personal hygiene. As to respect about yourself, if
the people around you treat you bad, you move out and find a place for you.
There will be one for sure. Love yourself. Don’t let others step on you. If one
feels uncomfortable, speak up. Listen to your body also, your self is your team
I believe. Be healthy and eat healthy foods.
We as a "volunteers" feels the
sentiment of what we observed. We help people who need us. We give help for
free. We even do rescue in times of calamities or help in the best way we can.
We care for the little people, sick people or maybe abandoned one. We even do
counselling. To the “rich-sosyal” people in public, be little considerate,
learn to approach in a nice manner.
Just a thought.. we observed.. we help.
