STUDENT ASK: “WHY UR PARENTS COME AIRPORT FETCH U, THEY DONT OWN A CAR”

I don’t understand why some people can be so spoiled and nasty. I will be coming back home after an exchange semester. I am so excited to be seeing my parents and sister after so long. I was telling a fellow exchange student about them coming to the airport to fetch me home.

This fellow exchange student is from a very wealthy family, parents have a car each and she even has her own car. Unfortunately, she knows that I am not so well to do. She went like “your family doesn’t even own a car right, so what’s the point of all of them coming all the way down… *snobbish laughter* just to take mrt back with you?!”

I felt that those words pierced my heart. Even though I know she isn’t exactly little miss tactful but I never expect this sort of hurtful words to come out from someone’s mouth. Things already go her way all the time, the moment she’s born, will it kill her to just be a decent human being…

So why can’t she just be a decent human being and show a little bit of empathy and understanding?

I understand that the world isn’t perfect and that people are different, but it’s not too much to ask for people to be respectful and kind towards one another.

It’s not like I was asking for her hand-me-down car or anything. I just wanted to share my story with her and have her understand.

It’s not like she has to do anything – she could at least pretend to care and not be so spoiled and nasty.

It’s not too much to ask, right?

I guess I just don’t understand why some people can be so selfish and unkind.

It’s not like they don’t have the capacity to be kind and understanding, but they just choose not to be.

It’s really disheartening and I can’t help but feel disappointed in them.

I guess it’s just something that I’ll never understand.
