What I Actually Learned From...

... is that respect is earned, not given

I boarded a jeepney and sat half way near the driver.

A male passenger from the far end gave out his fare. His extended arms went directly in front of a woman. The woman ignored as if she didn't see the arms in front of her.

Instead I reached the man's fare and gave it to the driver.

I somewhat felt bad for the woman who ignored the man who was paying out his fare.

Honestly, my respect for the woman slightly lessened.
