Dad found a Mobile phone while he was on his way to work today. It's a SE W890i. From his expression and the way he was flaunting it, I could tell that he's really happy. Dad's radiant smile lingered on his face and all I did was to smile bleakly but utter not a word. I'm totally against what he did. After Dad completed his all so 'magnificent' story, he laughed and skipped away.. YES! Literally, skipped away.The thought of returning it to the rightful owner did cross Dad's mind but he didn't place those thoughts into actions. I don't know why and didn't ask. Mum looked at Dad with jubilation while Dad was telling me how he found the phone. My parents are really thrifty and only gave the best to us. Leaving all the lousy stuff for themselves. They never did spend money on the 'in' stuff unless if it's for my brother or me. So, maybe they're just being selfish this once. Is this what I'm saying to make myself feel better? All the values that they've injected into my mind...Have they forgotten about it? Principles that I've been trying so hard to stick to. Values that I treasure. Morals that I'm constantly reminding myself of. The time when I found a Mobile phone in the school toilet, I returned it to the rightful owner.The person's way of thanking me is.... A word of thanks and 'DIAO' me.. Even though, I kept complaining how much I regretted returning it..... I never really felt that way. Honestly, I was really happy that I did the right thing. People call me dumb but I really don't care. It's just what my parents have taught me. However, why are they not sticking to it? Maybe, it's just that Dad's failed to prevail over greed. Everyone fails in something - here and there. Anyway, he has reset the cell. So, there's no way in getting it back. Well, all I can do is be happy for him then. It's his choice & his life. I shall go on being a 'DUMMY' and live life by my principles.The victim must be overwhelmed by a sense of self-pity and moping away now.. LOLExaggerating? Probably... Or maybe not.. Some people do tend to over react. Plus, all contacts saved in cell.. =)
