[Idea] A waste of time

[hamper (中文英文都太爛...)]

Today when I was on my way to the downtown, passing the intersection I saw a
young man, about 20, looking woolgathering, standing by the roadside with his
eyes fixed in nowhere. He was in his uniform, which revealed that he might be
in his alternative military service as a traffic cop, ironically giving no
slightest movement even when the signals changed. He stood there doing nothing,
as if he was a statue, only the blast from the motorcycles passing by that
flapped his clothes reminded me he's alive. Then, I thought why he had to stand
there idling away his time like that. Was it because that's his obligation to
pay his respect to the country? Or was he protesting silently against the
violation to his free will? Why would people insist having eye candys placed
on each intersection, rather than relocating these people to a more profitable
post? I didn't understand the purpose of putting reluctant students into
useless position like this. Are they victims anyway?
