Recently a young guy often smokes in the restroom of 6th floor of the library, at least a few times in a day. There are a few problems from the smoking: Bad smell for the non-smokers, ash and cigarette on the floor, and extra work for the cleaners. Library is a public place and open free to all the people, everyone here should respect each other, cherish the place and behave well. I really want to stop the guy smoking directly but I am afraid he maybe feel embarrassed, so I decided to use another way to remind him.
I took some photos of the ash, cigarette end and his spit(痰) with my phone and make a poster of no smoking sign and put the notice on: Pls take care of your body and smoke outside of the building. What I want to share with you here is about my feeling when I putting the notice on the wall. Nevous, and heart beating fast, I don't know why I am feeling like this even though I know I am doing the right thing? Anyway I put up the notices and feel calm down after a while. I do hope the young man can read this and change his behaviour.
I think about a lot of more than stopping the smoking, this is very small thing. We heard a lot of tragedies that less and less people would give a hand to the victims in a car or a drowning accident. People are worrying about being extorted and paying a lot of money. It is a great pity that you pay too much for being a good guy. In this way who wants to reach the hand? And people choose to be bystander(旁观者)and show apathy(冷漠). There must be something wrong with the society and some people are sick in some way. THe purpose I wrote this is not to complain the society and I always think the better are more than the worse and all the people are looking forward to better future. What we should do is to help each other, help the brave one who reach the hand, and always stand on the right side.
