Haha... I never did find that courage to go ahead and touch or
come in contact with a girl in the LRT (in Malaysia, the only state
that possesses mass rapid transit is KL - STAR line, PUTRA line,
KTM Kommuter etc.). For me, I don't think its right to judge what
is right or what is wrong, but I do believe that attempts to come
into contact with a stranger of the opposite sex in the MRT would
yield anxiety and fear (of the response from the stranger), who
wouldn't?
In the context of culture and society, this particular action is
not encouraged and that particular 'right' and 'wrong' (insight)
has been implanted into our minds from young and reinforced in
schools and universities as Moral Ed. and Ethics.
To deviate a little bit, I read a little about psychology and would
like to share it here, why we feel those fear and anxiety when we
have the urge in our minds to come in contact with a stranger of
the opposite sex. Our mind is compartmentalized into three
subcategories, the id, ego and superego. The id is the primitive
urge (sexuality and aggression) which over time becomes suppressed
with superego (the moral and cultural backgrounds implanted by our
teachers and parents) which yields the ego (our personality, our
self and how we carry ourselves with others).
HOWEVER, if I am given the chance to be able to touch or come into
contact with a girl I do not know, I will still not do it, as it
would be socially unacceptable.
