I only feel regretful about Park We's choice to incinerate social consideration
Humans live while pursuing selfish desires for survival and self-preservation. This is the most primal instinct of living beings and a natural phenomenon.
However, because humans are social animals that cannot live alone, we have evolved to recognize others and secure the stability of our relationships.
In a broad sense, consideration for others or altruistic behavior is also an animal instinct to protect one's own position and seek safety. That is why people who are well-socialized tend to be more generous and considerate toward others.
Looking at this recent incident involving Park We, he is someone who showed absolutely no consideration for the public service agent and the KORAIL employee. In fact, looking at the CCTV, the public service agent did not intentionally try to trip him.
It was quite literally a mistake. From his perspective as a person with a disability, falling face-first while boarding or exiting a train can certainly be very unpleasant. However, if Park We were a well-socialized human being, once he realized it was the agent's mistake, he would have swallowed his unpleasant feelings or even offered a smile to reassure the other person.
Instead, Park We became enraged by the fact that he tripped over the public service agent's foot, went to the station office to protest for a long period, and even obtained CCTV footage from KORAIL to create a video.
Consideration is not something only the strong show to the weak. In a society where we live together, even a person with a disability like Park We should show consideration toward public service agents. Especially if one is a very publicly famous person with a disability, even more consideration was needed for the social service agent in his 20s, who is younger than him.
Public support and consideration were given to him for free because he is a person with a disability, but maintaining that was Park We's responsibility. Through this incident, Park We kicked that asset away himself, and as a result, what returns to him is not sympathy, but a cold shoulder.
