Think I've said this before... but never mind....
As a medic, I've helped many people before during NS. Injuries out
in the field, in camp, you name it.... I've come to the aid of
people with all sorts of ailments ranging from minor cuts to
life-threatening heatstroke.
And were all of them grateful? Sadly, no. Some of them would bully
me week in, week out just because I was the only JC student around
without the rank of 3SG. In their eyes, all JC students = elites =
must-bully-that-guy....
But do I hate them? Frankly speaking, no. Their lack of conscience
doesn't worry me at all. If they want to bully some fella who has
put in so much effort into helping them, then that's their
problem.
When I finally got my 3SG rank, they all got cold feet and started
leaving me alone, knowing that I could now exact revenge on them.
Did I do so? No. Because if I did, I would be no better than any of
them.
In the end, my conscience is clear, and what I believe is that when
the time comes for me to face God, I can honestly say that I did
the right thing in this respect.
I still refuse to hate those buggers.
I just pity them for their lack of conscience, that's all.
