disappointment

A lot of things can happen that can make me disappointed. But amongst all, one of the most disappointing is to find out my friends smoke...

I used to get angry or even upset when I discover things like that back at sec school. In fact, I'm surprised at my perseverance.
I even remember HF risking making the guys angry when she hid their lighter...haha.

But now, I just get disappointed.

Why?

To many people, this might be a trivial matter...
It's just smoking...
-.-

Oh well, it's just my opinion...

Nisha and I went over to the worksite to film the banglas and indian workers for the trip home after their work.
Harun was the Bangladeshi worker we're featuring in our documentary. He was busy but yet he made sure we got a cab and even came out fifteen minutes after we bade goodbye and checked on us.

It made me think...the basis of being human is because we are all primarily innocent and pure. The willingness to help another fellow being is default within us.

If not for this project, I might still be having mixed impressions about foreign workers. But Harun and Gopal has really let me see, the goodness in people exist irregardless of race, religion, age, etc.

It sounds so cliched...but to see it for myself is really impactful. It really touches me how they can go all out to ensure our filming gets done smoothly.

sigh...People. We are such simple yet complicated things.
oxymoron!
