this is going to be a post of ranting
so u've been warned.

i only came to know the term 'white horse' 2 years ago.
in the army, if you're a 'white horse', u'll get treated much better than the other recruits.
i dont know if that is true or not,
but if it is, it needs to be scrapped now.
i will be mightily pissed if the son of a minister/promiment businessman/someone famous who did the same amount of shit work I did gets off lightly, but I didn't.
I mean, who the hell cares if you are?
In the army, every recruits goes through the same routine and training and suffer together.
A sergeant letting a 'white horse', A RECRUIT, off is simply shitass stupid.
'I am the son of blah blah blah...' yeah yeah.
but unfortunately, you're in the dirt with everyone,
so u freakin' well get dirty with everyone.

and people who think that they are ri-, or i should put it,
'more financially affluent' than others.
don't come with 'you own the world' attitude.
I'll illustrate an example.
Last month, I was back with my Juniors in BB camp, back in my old secondary school.
Sunday evening, around 5pm. We were to play footie at the street soccer court..
and there has always been a bunch of my church youth gathering to play footie every sunday evening around the same time.
just so happens, we got it first.
so one of you dumbnuts ri-, whoops sorry, people come up to me and asked if you could come use the court in 1/2 hrs time.
i gave him a 'see first' reply, and he said 'ok'.
1/2 hr later, we weren't done.
and he comes over asking if we were done, and i said, 'nope sorry, looks like we're still using'
and then he gets angsty, turns his back and says:
'dont make promises when you can't keep them'.

in the first place shithead, i didnt even make a promise.
and secondly, the court is not under a booking system, or u've probably never heard of the phrase 'first come, first serve'.
and it was not over.
because then came (and it's true - and i know him) the son of one minister who comes over and tells me if i made a deal, i should keep it.
if my ex-teacher hadnt intervened, i don't know what I would have done...
but if i ever see your friend again coming again with that attitude,
he's in for a broken nose. and jaw.

you ri- people need just to be humble.
wealth is only material. but sometimes wealth turns your attitude into one of arrogance.
do remember that there are people around who are working their asses off just surviving.
but perharps, you're too caught up in your own world, not caring bout other worlds.
its sad...

and that is all.
gd day.
