My son taught me a lesson

Ok, so last night, after work, I decided to take the kids out for dinner.
Then, something unexpected happened. My ex-wife followed us. Apparently, my ex-wife had a talk on the phone with my son and my son had told her where we're going... To cut things short, my ex-wife was with us last night...

We went to Mall Of Asia... Then, while walking, there was this lady (on her 40's I guess) who was walking briskly, then, she slipped and fell into the floor. So, at first I looked if the woman was okay, I was about 5 meters away from the woman. Then, after looking at her for about 5 seconds, I told myself that I should help her because she's still on the floor, perhaps looking for help. So, I pulled my son whom I was holding and we approached the lady. I kneeled down a bit and gave my hand to the lady so that she would stand up with the support of my hand. To my dismay, the woman shrugged off my hand pushing it away. At that time, I felt embarassed, I was just being courteous and yet she just rejected it (the heck!). But then, I just held my son's hand and we walked away without looking back...

While walking towards them, (my ex-wife together with my daughter and the nannies who were just staring at us) my son asked me what did I do. I told him that I was trying to help the woman but she doesn't want my help. Then, my son told me,"why are there so many foolish people papa? They are so proud of themselves that when they fell on the floor, they don't even want others to help them." My son has a point, maybe next time, I should just be an usisero like what most of the people do when something or someone is suffering from something, instead of helping them...

Then, my ex-wife, who is such a pessimist, laughed at what I did. She said something like I was making papogi yet it seems the girl doesn't like me. THE HELL! I did it without any intention like that! Besides, the woman looked much much older than me! I really hate my ex-wife, I have no regrets that we separated, honestly. She doubts everything about me...when in fact she was the one who cheated that's why we broke up
