Australians are nice and friendly people.

Today I saw a car broke down in the middle of the road. Of course there were cars behind his. Quickly the two man from the car behind, without hesitation, showed initiative to help the poor driver.

They two man had a talk with the driver for a sec or two, den started helping by pushing the car. The person who helped was an old man and another man was around his 40s. Soon, there were many cars stuck behind the jam.

The thing that really amazed me, is that given the traffic jam behind caused by the car that has broken down, not a single honk was heard. There were no sense of frustation or anger in the drivers. All of them just waited patiently.

Soon the traffic was moving again. It would have been a touching picture if I managed to snap it with my phone. I witnessed all these in the bus, at the traffic light. It showed that how patient and understanding people can be.

If this were to happen in Malaysia:

A man's car breaks down in the first lane of a two lane road.
The man comes out of his car and takes a look at his car engine.
He then pulls out his cellphone to call a mechanic.
Traffic jam starts here.
People behind the line will start honking in no longer than 5 minutes.
As car slowly passes in the second lane, they would express their anger and frustation to the unlucky driver, by either showing disgusted faces, or throwing vulgar words at him.
No only did his car break down, but he has to endure all unfriendly/mean faces from people.
The man continues to wait for his mechanic to reach in his broken car.
The public shows no sense of pitiness to the helpless man.

I believe there is always kindness and goodness in people.
The hectics in the city covered people's hearts. They couldn't see themselves in people's shoes. All they think of is themselves. They are so full of themselves that they always want to be on top of people. In which, they become as selfish as a fox.

If someone would just come down and give a little hand, they would all be home in no time.
