A short background before we begin.
My first 10 years of educaton was in a Christian environment. I was taught compassion, and I genuinely had it. Of all 'underpriviledged' groups, the group with which I was most focus about was the handicapped. Perhaps this was due to the fact that their sufferring is the most obvious. Others, say, the old, orphans, poor etc. did not display a throng of obvious sufferring I guess. So over the years, they to a certain extend, was a small part of my meaning of life, to help them. I spent time, effort, money, and my genuine compassion to help the handicapps.
When I was about almost my 20s, I experienced something which changed my entire philosophy to people, or rather, more to this group..
I had to be in this certain place. In this place, there was a guy who was very very eloquent. I was there for only a week or so in total.
And I am not a very sociable person. My main aim down there was to get out of there as fast as possible.
So he tried to talk to me, and me being the unsociable person that I was, saw no point of it and sort of refused it.
He then began trying to create trouble for me.
There is another handicap in this group. both his legs could not walk properly. Call him Chua.
And so it boiled down to the final confrontation(I am keeping all these short because I just want to get to the point) .
It was a scene where like 6 people were against me. They were so many vs 1, me, because this eloquent guy was just gifted at his mouth.
And Guess what? No surprise, the handicap joined him against me, even though he was in the wrong.
So the moral of the story is: People, naturally or otherwise, will generally help their friends in a confrontation. They will give less shit to who was right or wrong.
You can do a whole lifetime of time, money, and effort in the form of Good Deeds for the handicapps, but when given a choice, between a person who have done these good deeds,vs someone who have a gifted mouth, it has been shown that the handicap will pick the one who have the gifted mouth. It has been shown, pure empiricism.
So, is there any more reason to help the handicapps, since when it comes to boil, they have shown they prefer a person's mouth rather than your good deeds
That you can go good for the group as a whole, only to get attacked by them when you were at one of your weakest
That they have shown to be ungrateful fellas
