The Singapore system doesn’t just create pressure from above; it breeds insecurity from below. Those lower in a hierarchy often undermine genuine competence out of envy or fear of being outshone. Over time, this quiet social gaslighting convinces capable people that their worth is conditional on staying small.

Why many glow up overseas

When a covetous populace integrates with an even more covetous one, several dynamics can unfold:

1. Escalation of Greed

The less covetous group may adopt the more extreme behaviors of the other, leading to an overall increase in materialism, competition, and exploitation. Greed often feeds on itself—when people see others relentlessly pursuing self-interest, they may feel pressured to do the same to survive or stay competitive.

2. Resentment and Disillusionment

Some members of the less covetous group might begin to resent the cutthroat mentality of the more covetous group. They may feel that the pursuit of wealth, power, or status has reached an

If you were a covetous person—someone consumed by greed and an insatiable desire for more—you would likely behave in the following ways daily:

1. Always Comparing Yourself to Others

• You constantly check what others have—better jobs, nicer homes, luxury cars—and feel resentment or jealousy.
• Social media becomes a source of frustration rather than enjoyment, as you compare lifestyles.
• Instead of celebrating others’ success, you feel bitter and ask, “Why not me?”

2. Prioritizing Money Over Relationships

• You only spend time with people who can benefit you financially.
• You view friendships and business connections as transactional.
• Family time feels like a wa

The Cost of Greed

They built their towers, high and grand, On broken backs, on stolen land. With silver tongues and hollow eyes, They fed the world their painted lies.

Each handshake hid a blade inside, Each promise made, a truth denied. They climbed atop the bones of men, Yet feared the fall—again, again.

They called it strength to tear apart, To carve the world with selfish art. But in their halls, so cold and bright, No love remained, no warmth, no light.

For trust was lost, and joy was thin, No one to call an honest friend. Their riches swelled, yet hearts decayed, Their laughter forced, their smiles frayed.

And when the final trumpets cried, The empire stood—but none inside. For we

Bitterness and greed are clear evil traits and precipatory traits tending to evil.

People know but refuse to acknowledge that the real red flag of someone tending to evil is:

bitterness and greed.

Instead of being xenophobic or criticising foreigners

-- how foreigners assimilate depend largely on our de facto not de jure culture (belief system)

--- if they observed most Singaporeans they come across as rude/selfish, and when they get punished by the culture for being nice e.g. someone cut their queue or snide at their niceness -- guess what they will adapt to this new lower standard to survive

Instead of complaining how rude and covetoeus foreigners are -- be so strong in the de facto culture of being anti-covetous and civil and everything else will follow suit - it is up to the locals to positively influence them and not for them to without any nudge fit in to an imaginary righteo

Sorry to ask, but post-travel,

I find Singaporeans more attention-seeking than most populace in public transportation especially young males who like to talk loudly in an attention-seeking manner - in most countries, because it's less safe, people tend to keep to themselves and not want attention. Tap card also want to talk; inside also want to boast. If you need a job, just submit a CV, stop boasting to strangers in public w false bravado. I am totally going to give you a job/help u make introductions after hearing how your secret not secret big plan to make lots of money. Ready to invest. Also impressed how you almost beat up a schoolmate or your friend next to you.

Just had to be said.
