一种米养百种人

I want to talk about a guy I know, I don't know him very much, and i guess he is in his fifties.
I remember the first time i met him, with another friend in a restaurant. We joined them for lunch and this guy started to talk and talk and talk... and talk!

He was staying in KL for a few years already. As he is a mat salleh, he speaks in a thick accent (i need to listen attentively to understand him well). He is very smart and the conversation a bit "deep" for me (probably because of his intellectual way of speaking, just like to 兜圈子to get to a point).

But one thing that I understand clearly is that, he likes to complain. He thinks he is the best and the rest of the people are just not good enough.

During the lunch, he was complaining about how bad is Malaysia, how stupid are the people here, how lazy are the Malays, how corrupt is the government, how dumb is everybody in this country, how bad is the service industry in Malaysia, how poor is the food quality, how messy is the transportation system in Malaysia... the whole time i was just listening because my intellect level and my poor English pronunciation would probably spark another discomfort of him towards his surrounding.

I listened to him insulting the country i stay in, the people i live with, the government part... i somehow have no comment... I was just wondering to myself, if he doesn't like this place SO much, why is he still here?... I remember I told my friend after the lunch, that I don't bother to talk to him because, he is not a happy man with all the negativity he carries with him, and if he doesn't like this country that much, DON'T STAY HERE. No one force you to stay, and no one stop you from leaving.

Apparently he left the country. but just for a couple of months. and he is back to the country that he has so much complains. I wonder. He probably like being depressed and unhappy.

What I also heard about is that, he always get the best service, the best deal, the best treatment from places he goes. Apparently, the trick is very simple... whenever he wants something, he just yell at the people, scold them until they give in. *applause*. He can scold people so loud and rude that other strangers that stand beside him almost want to beat him up to defense the poor guy... i wish i gets a chance to see that... hahaha...

Yes, he did get what he wants, but nobody likes him. To be as smart and as successful as he is, it's sad that he behaves this way. Everyone is just afraid of him, not in a respectful way, but just because they don't know when he is going to bark like mad dog again. He can have all the wealth of the world, and all the luxury he can indulge, but he is just not going to live happy.

What a sad story.
