Caring Qatari

Sorry, just had to share this ...

The other day I was walking past Sana, and happened to glance at a Land Cruiser.

There was an elderly Qatari guy climbed out of the back seat, held the door open for what I can only assume was his daughter and grandson, helped them both into the back seat, ensured his daughter was buckled in, and, .... put the grandson into a baby seat!!!!!

I was sooooooo happy that I walked away with a huge grin on my face.

FS, it's not that they don't care. It's simply because they are not aware of their surroundings and wrapped up in their own worlds ie. egocentric. But similar anywhere around the world also.

Yes, but note: I have come across many older Qataris who are sensible like that. More courteous, more caring, etc.etc. Even on the road. They respect life and show good examples for the young.

Actually, similar with anywhere around the world - the older and more mature, they are, the clearer they see the bigger picture and the vanities of striving in life.

The youngsters should learn from their elders. That was excellent leadership by example.

Everyday we see many Qataris busy talking on the mobile while driving and the small kids are jumping and playing inside the car…we feel that they don’t care about the safety of their children.

So this Qatari need to be appreciated…

FU, because ever time we see a post here about Qataris, it is bashing them. I merely wanted to redress the balance :o)

Perhaps because he was Qatari Fried.....

The old man taking care of his family is just heart warming and a part of being a good caring person.. I don't know why the topic here is - Caring Qatari?
