The Bus Stop (2017)

You are never too young or too old to be bullied or being a bully. As I saw the first part of this film I wondered what kind of parents children like these have. What is wrong with them and is er any excuse for their behaviour. I've never hear any teenager say this kind of language to an elderly. I guess I am lucky or perhaps it's due to the fact I live where mainly elderly live and the way of living is still back like 50 years ago if it comes to the average person's behaviour. I did notice some teenagers (more young adults) do show behaviour I don't like if it comes to showing respect to others.

Like those girls "taking care" of elderly and taking them out to the market to buy fish. Fish for sure paid by them. All 3 sat in their wheelchair in the fog. It was cold and one elderly had a thing towel that covered her head. While the 3 fat "nurses" were eating the fish as if they hadn't eaten for a long time they had parked the elderly with their wheelchairs behind their backs. One man said something about the fish and with an open mouth full of fish that impolite "nurse" shouted: later, it's still hot. With her fingers she tore a piece of fish off the one she stuffed into her mouth.
All I could think of was: Girl you will be old one day. How will you feel if it's you in that wheelchair putting aside like a piece of trash while your money is taken by those who should care about you?

As Carter the leader of the bullies scolded at the lady and told her she's ugly and that's the reason her husband died it reminded me of a post I read yesterday. It was about a guy who wrote he had a happy life, no problem with his wife but her only flaw was that she had gotten old! The children left the house, married, and he left because he had a young girlfriend he married with. He wrote he never thought of the old woman he had dumped and had dared to ask for a house. All he wanted was to be happy. I wonder what type of person he is. Selfish for sure but also what he looks like. Is he still a young man, without a wrinkle and attractive? I doubt it. Nobody lies as much about the qualities and looks of a man as women do to make him feel better about himself.

I might be an idiot but how the world looks and how women are treated, it's a good idea if we stop lying and telling men how great they are. Since no matter how high you lift them they will start find it normal and once they believe they are god they leave the one with the flaw. If it wouldn't be so sad I might laugh. Instead wrote back: I like to hear how your young wife thinks about you in ten years. Unlike what men think an old men is no gift from heaven but a burden, sucking all youth and dreams out of you and change you into a nurse, cook, cleaning lady and free servant. It's understandable why more and more girls no longer want to get married. Why should they if men have nothing great to add to their lives?

Back to the film. It's very well played by the bullies and the victim and I like how the lady teaches Carter a few lessons which go further than literature. At least Carter did still listen to his mom although I can't say he was very polite to her either. Did mother ignore this fact of is she blind for the response of her son?

A great Saturday to everyone. Stop bullying and if you have children keep an eye on them. They might not be such great children as you believe they are.
