I say NO!...you mean YES?

Everytime I go to school, I always witness how this big NO becomes a YES to the commuters. Honestly, I used to smile everytime I pass by it because I never thought that I also stood under this "NO LOADING and UNLOADING" sign, waiting for the jeepney to arrive (haha!).
Well, this matter may seem to be funny (since not taken seriously) but it is really disappointing I believe.
With this seemingly "small foul" comes a valid conclusion (I believe) that there are people who used to ignore such stress and hassle-free orders like this. Worse, this "NO" sign is just few steps away from the traffic enforcer but some people are really insensitive. Here, self discipline seems lacking on some. People tend to ignore orders (even those which are considered small and simple) that eventually injure others as well as the community itself.
This scenario happens everyday not only in Los Baños (where the picture was taken) but also in other parts of the country -a discouraging fact.
On the lighter side of it, some public vehicle drivers refuse to load and unload commuters on those "NO" signs but lead them to the right loading and unloading area. Yes, discipline is really lacking on some but it is obviously present on others.
Self discipline is needed for development. Discipline results to orderliness and at the same time, it promotes hope. As long as people possess self discipline, they are more likely to think of others. As long as people think of others, they are more likely to be responsible. As long as people are responsible, they are more likely to hope.
This simple photo might be considered as a usual photo which everyone see but this simple thing I know, make sense.
Everything big started in a bit. If we can't follow a simple order like this, how much more to those serious ones?

Now it says NO!...I agree it's a NO-NO!!!
