Jungle-selfish

It's a jungle out there

Jakarta's streets in reality is hard and it springs out that "jungle mentality" from people dare enough to make it in this big city. This "selfish" outlook comes out unnoticed and perhaps unwanted -anymore than you care to admit. But that's just how it is right, you're forced to deal with the situation at hand instinctively to your best interest.

I'm not saying this to promote or encourage selfishness, but rather to honor those who can overlook his/her own comfort and give that up in regards to others despite the circumstances. Such nobility in Jakarta's street is rare and should be celebrated and followed. And as for Jakarta's setting that spurs all this selfishness, it's our (Fauzi Bowo's) responsibility to make this city less jungle-like.
