it’s not a huge thing, really it’s a summation of lots of small things, but nonetheless it’s something our society lacks these days. it takes many forms: the person on the subway who won’t move out of the doorway or blocks the aisle, the person in your office building who won’t hold the door even though they know you are 2 steps behind them, the stranger who refuses to get out of the shoveled path and forces you to walk in the snow, the customer who is having a bad day and insists on bringing others down with them, the driver who is on their cell phone who almost hits you as you legally cross a crosswalk while running (okay, he was just a jackass but you get the point).
people, if i see you do it and i’m really unhappy i will say something but come on. and i might go off on you. not in a michael-douglas-in-falling-down sort of way, but you get the idea. did your parents not smack you when you were growing up? where the fuck did you get the idea that you could be lazy or annoying and it was ok? who the fuck do you think you are? there i feel better. but seriously it’s really not hard. use your head every now and again. it’s good karma, it will actually come back around to help you one day in life. we as a society will not change unless we all take notice. say something, be a better person.
