善良是看你站在哪个角度去看

kinda familiar

Remember that guy in army? The guy who chao keng everything and moans to others it's a waste of time. The guy who tells you to be like him, do the minimum, and get away with it. The guy who smooth-talks commanders, then badmouths them, and gives big speeches in bunk. The guy who asks you to go first when there's a demonstration or a grenade to be thrown, but is the first at canteen. The guy who doesn't sing when everyone is singing. The guy who's excused everything and hopes to be excused from more. The guy who claims he has more important things to do outside army. The guy who when exercise or test comes around scrambles for your help. The guy who doesn't grasp that others do it not because we're sheep, but because we respect NS or at least respect structure, because we know we're better as a team, because every little effort potentially keeps us - and that guy - safer. Remember him?

 That guy is today's anti-vaxxer.

"dying is the worst thing that ever happened to me."
