It’s great to do a good deed. For example, giving up your seat on a bus to an elderly person, if you are young and healthy. But many people take kindness for weakness and start to be insolent. And this is where it is important not to let the offenders off the hook.
I was once traveling on a jam-packed bus. An elderly woman got on at a stop. One girl, seeing this, gave up her seat and stood next to her. I looked at this and smiled quietly to myself.
It’s packed, we all shake when the bus makes a turn. Suddenly I hear a profanity from that elderly woman who was given a seat. She was shouting at that girl because that one touched her with her body a few times. The insults were stopped with the words, “Swap back if you feel so bad.”
