I experienced this too
those kind souls are usually singaprean aunties who give up their seats for me. Otherz jus stare at their hp or pretend i m invisible. Met a prc guy who have the cheek to ask his wife to give up her seat for me while his butt stayed glued to the chair. In the end none of them stood up. Another was a pinoy couple with the gf sitting on the reserved seat n happiily abosrbed in their own world.
I dunno how to teach my kids next time. To be compassionate when none of these foreigners i met on the train has showed their cocompassionate side to his mum when she was heavily preggy with him. Not tt i v gian the seat but is tt act of kindness someone showed to u after a long day.
Don't give up. How others behave should never affect the way we aspire to bring our kids up. If we want our kids to be thoughtful and gracious, my personal belief is that it needs to start with ourselves at home first. There will be times when the children question. Mine has already started, but it is the emphasis to her that we are trying to build good, strong character who gives back to society.
And all that jazz about people overseas who don't behave in the same manner, I speak from personal experience that it's all hyped up. On numerous occasions over the years in different countries, be it first world or third world, have I experienced their own ppl not giving up seats in buses, trams and trains to the needy. Me the foreign talent giving up my seat to an elderly lady during peak hour whilst a very well-dressed executive in a suit keeps his ass glued to the seat.
