All zealots teach us is how to hate one another.
On the other hand when you experience what I did, with a Malay family while standing around like this, waiting for a table in the Ikea restaurant , you will know that there are still some of us, who will never allow hatred to stoke our mind, nor change our respect for one another .
So what happened was this, both husband and wife cleared their table for us after they had finished their meal. I mean, you know, there are workers around, and they could have left it at that. Seriously I think I'd never felt more ashamed of myself, in my life when that happened, as it never crossed my mind that I could do something as nice as that for someone else....a total and complete stranger. Why didn't I ever think of that before ?
So after we relished 2 rounds of coffee, 5 Viking sized chicken wings and a mountain of meatballs with the Swedish flag toothpicked onto the pile, we promptly paid their good deed forward.
