Life gets more and more confusing to me every day. I’d like to think that respect for one another is in a steady decline, but then I immediately wonder if I am just getting old. I don’t understand anymore. I guess to quickly sum up what I am feeling- take the drive home today as an example. It seemed like in this one stretch of highway, drivers were competing with one another to see who could be the rudest. I had people cut me off with no turn signal. I had people with a turn signal trying to just edge me out of my lane. I had seen people failing to yield while entering the highway. I saw the ever-so-present tailgaters. I even saw one douchebag cut three lanes with no signal, then cut back the other direction weaving through traffic with no signal. Then some of you will reply yeah that is just normal in your town. Then my reply back would be- so you have a lower standard for respect in your town that you put up with? I feel bad for you. People are no longer social animals and it seemed to happen overnight to me. What is funny is this all has been predicted in movies and it’s happening right before our very eyes. I am impressed with the foresight of the producer of Demolition Man in certain parts. Something has got to give… and until then I just better find a way to rise above or put on my blinders like a horse in a parade. My buddy was just talking about us needing a cleansing- the human race. He fought for our safety so that we could all treat each other like f****** s***. When we all have the same fate- and we are not in control of that fate, I have to wonder if hatred is really the best way. I think really I just need away from overcrowded areas. People need lots of space or they get aggravated. After seeing how innocent and pure my baby nephew was this weekend… I have to try and hit the reset button and start over. I have to clean my mind and start again. You only get one life. If you can’t respect one another… find something else to do, but for the sake of humanity don’t encourage having everything just waste away. There’s a lot of people on here just looking for a high or an affair or something because you’re all bored… you’re all led to believe life owes you something. Maybe we all owe life something. Maybe we all owe one another something. In that frame of mind, everybody wins.
