Hi all, am back to blog! Just to inform you guys, I am competing with someone to see who is the faster blogger between the both of us. =)

Hmm.. To start off today's post, I shall talk about the imbalanced hectic schedule I have to cope with currently. I have 2 projects due on Monday, all tutorials left undone and I am going out tomorrow to kill off one of the projects. And to think that life would be easier after MST! Looks like I have been fooled. =(

Okay, since I mentioned before that I am going to post something about human nature... TADAH!! Today's the day!! Readers out there, you will soon get to know that I don't forget about promises. Geez.

I was inspired to write about this because of my brother. Plus points first. My bro isn't someone who is very calculative (in monetary terms), he shows care and concern to both family and friends and is someone whom you can rely on when you need help.

Bad points: He is EXTEREMLY impatient and is petty.

So the topic of the day is human pettiness. Before I continue, I feel that I have the need to provide you people with one classic example of what being petty is like.

One day, my bro came back from work and is complaining very loudly about how he was being mistreated over at his workplace. He was literally glaring at everything with an unmeasurable loathe and was in such a foul mood that anyone who walked pass him would have thought that the entire world owed him a living.

So as usual, he was sparing us some of his "viewpoints" regarding his work. The entire situation turns out to be that my bro was unhappy that someone, whom he alleged to have the same qualifications as him, is earning bigger bucks than him under the same company and holds much more responsibilty than he does. So the rants went on and on, so much so that I started to feel that it was getting more and more laughable and absurd. "BANG!" I closed my door, and that's the end of the story folks.

I really cannot understand why someone could be so petty. I mean, it's okay that you feel pissed at times and would want to vent out all your frustrations. That is perfectly normal. But, after that, shouldn't we just let bygones be bygones? Isn't it tiring to bear grudges? I can't seem to comprehend why someone (my bro in this case), would want to go all out to seek "redress" (as he calls it). He was determined to make life difficult for his superior and that fellow. Does that really benefit him or will it only worsen things? Thinking Point One.

My bro likes to claim credit for things that he had done before. For example, when he needs help from me, he would bring back stories depicting how an elder brother had helped his younger brother some eons back. So blah blah blah, I would always end up in a situation whereby he will say, "Okay, next time when you need me to help you blah blah blah, you better don't approach me." Me, being caught in this kind of situation, always give in to him. Sighh. (Don't need to tell me I am soft-hearted, I know it myself)

So Thinking Point Number Two, are all humans that calculative? The answer, it seems, is an obvious yes. We always help others and expect others to help us when we need assistance. Isn't this mentality wrong? Why is it that we cannot help people just because we find joy in helping others? I remember that during my primary school days, there were people who wrote themselves as helpful people. My question to this is, are you REALLY helpful or are you just preparing yourself for rainy days? Why is it that humans can't seem to be able to part from their personal gains in whatever things they do? Sighh.

The more I think, the more appalled I get. The ugly side of human nature really turns me off.

But no matter what, I am still a human.
