singaporean crabs

in order to get ahead, you must step on others;
when you can't get ahead, you must pull others down with you

someone once likened this to a bunch of crabs trying to escape from a pail.

is it me, or does this society have more than her fair share of such people? this 'smallness of mind', e inability to be happy for others & to celebrate their achievements, jealousy & e vicious intent to sabotage others - why do e homes & schools here turn out such people? how happy can they be?

maybe that's why e tourism board's food guide for tourists lists chilli crab as e national dish? ;)

in e rat race, I'd like to be e bemused cat who watches e silly rats trying to outrun one another, while picking out a few of them for teabreak =P
