By now, you would already got your social feeds firing on this topic.
Personally, the only reason I care about this is, unfortunately, whether it will cause economic hardships for Singapore and thus myself and my loved ones.
Yes, the politically correct answer should had been : wish the conflict ends soon and no more innocent lives are lost, and I will donate to Red Cross!
Well, that's nice to say and to be seen saying
But I know I am not making any difference, and my best shot is to ensure me and my family stay above water, and not end up being a burden, which if we are successful, is a small contribution already.
Am I selfish? Why not? Who isn't? I am not hurting anyone by ensuring I take care of myself and my family. What the heck can I do for someone who is there in the conflict now?
Now, don't get me wrong. I do donate to Red Cross several times before, not big amounts, but I answered some of those calls for help. I wonder whether I made a difference with my couple hundred bucks. I figured I made a bigger difference when I tip the Grab driver or the Grab guy/gal who delivered my food even when it was raining crabs and laksa here.
That's uncle style. You don't like it, too bad. Wait until you are at my stage of life then you come and tell me what you think again.
Still, hope peace and sensibility prevails for those who are in power to make a difference.
Please.
