Micro will make metro

When a delegation of foreign officials visited Thailand, the government had an entire slum area covered end to end to avoid distaste over the unsightly area.
The last Olympics, I read Beijing did the same.

Just how general can this be?

When you drive along Manila or in my case commute along Manila, you see the same thing bannered under the Metro Gwapo Urban Facelift project. along C5, you'd see concrete walls bordering or rather covering the shanty areas. Other houses along the highway are painted the trademark pink and blue to make them look at least adorable or likeable as Hello Kitty is.
Fly to Cebu and anyone would witness the same thing.

Just how micro could this be?

Have you tried to witness a classmate, household helper, or maybe your mom sweep the dust under the rag? I mean hide the dust under the rag. Ever tried cleaning your place knowing that you dint really clean but hid everything behind something else.

Looking at this paradigm, it makes me think just how much our attitude towards small things today will make their metro mark in the future.

Just wondering if we could learn to hate this general indifference. I think we can. And we will always think we can until we get a move on it.
