苟不教,性乃迁。教之道,贵以专。

如果从小不好好教育,善良的本性就会变坏。为了使人不变坏,最重要的方法就是要专心一致地去教育孩子。”
If no proper moral education is given to a child, the originally kind hearted side of a child will become twisted, turning bad. To prevent that from happening, the best way is to focus on imparting the correct moral values to a child.


"Used to be so proud of Singapore.
Used to love this country so much.
But I don't think I do anymore.
Disappointed.
With the country, with society.
With this world."
-- Me.

If there're any words to use to to describe how I feel towards everything around me now, it's major turn off.


Recently, Singapore civil servants and public figure seem to be getting more corrupted.
Twisted in their moral views.

As far as I can remember:
Jack Neo having affairs.
Principal of school involved with prostitute(s).
Corruption of NKF Funds, etc.
Now Yaw Shin Leong having an affair with Cheena girl.

I used to love Singapore alot, happy that the country is progressing as a whole.
Proud that we're having trustable government officials.
Contented that we are protected from natural disasters.

But I feel disappointed.
Singapore is progressing?
Not much, actually.
Trustable?
I doubt so.
Corruption cases occured.
So what is we are exempted from natural disasters?
We aren't doing anything to protect this natural world we have.
And now, while the government is sweeping through the red districts in Singapore for prostitues, civil servants are getting involved with prostitutes.
And the best part is?
They have their own family, have their own wife.

As a fan of moral education (hilariously), I care alot about the moral values present in myself and people within my social circle.
I care about the moral values present in this society I live in, and I think, "moral" doesn't seem to matter alot anymore.

In terms of filial piety, teenagers are boasting about hitting their parents, using vulgarities on their parents.
No matter what parents do, they are still the reason to why you're living.
I have done the verbal insult before.
I feel guilty.
I apologized.

I am not saying that everyone should use me as an example.
But at least, don't boast about such ridiculous thing.

In terms of relationship, I find it absurd, how people keep wanting a long-lasting relationship, yet being the ones who give up easily when facing obstacles.
I find it ridiculous, how people wish they can find true love, yet flirt and find flings.
And now what?
Men and women are cheating on their spouses and two-timing during a relationship.
Does this even make sense?





Singapore may have been doing well, but if you were to ask me now, I would tell you that, as a Singaporean Citizen, I am losing my faith in this country.
