It's hard to say goodbye to yesterday
We do not care much about about our behavior in public.
People who would never be rude to their friend (debatable),
have no problems behaving horribly towards strangers.
They feel they won't ever see them again,
so why bother being polite.
As more people congregate in larger groups,
their behavior when they are alone degenerates.
Unfortunately,
their distemper and uncouthness
only make bad situations worse.
It can spread through a crowd like a bad flu,
feeding on itself as it grows.
Tired zombies marching back and forth between their jobs and their lives.
If you really want to see humanity at its absolute lowest point,
you need look no further than the roads.
Nothing is more intellectually degrading than an impatient driver whipping around
nearly a tonne of metal in an uncontrolled frenzy simply because
they are five minutes late for dinner.
Why more people don't die in automotive accidents is a great mystery.
Even just a bit of congestion and the crowds go wild.
Most of us create our own problems in life.
When you are too focused on the little aggravations in your life,
you miss those big grand wonderful things around you.
Trying to be a little less rude each and every day
is a great way to combat the funk that people are in.
We all feel some need to contribute in a positive way to humanity,
which we can actually do with the smallest of efforts.
Making the world a better place starts with
not pushing people out of the way while entering the mrt.
It is not a difficult concept.
Really.
