Quarrel in the neighbourhood
Yesterday night, there is a quarrel in my neighbourhood. It's 2 storey right on top of me.
The man is like drunk, and he came home aand shout very loudly. Then the wife screaming, and the children are crying.Almost everyone in the neighbourhood woke up and hear them some even shout to them to keep quiet.
Oh gosh, it is such frightening, cos relationship are at stake, when a couple shouts. This is more serious if there is a fight involved.
One thing came to mid, is that, how come nowadays there are no more peace maker. In the olden days, whenever a family quarrel, usually the neighbour, would come and talk sens out of it. And then peace will come upon them. But now, in the society today, instead of going to the troubled neighbour to be a peacemake, they just call up the police, and let them handle it. Is this what the urbanisation done to us, the people of the world?
This is one book I read, maybe I should put this book review, so that many others can read.
