a look at people these days

today i was driving my mom and brother home during the high school rush.... which i should have known was going to be a mistake, but of course like always i didn't remember.... so i get to a green light and kids and adults are just walking out in front of the cars... there is no looking, no waiting for the on coming traffic to have a red light, just walking right in front of them..... then you have the ambulance who was trying to get over the bridge and none of the traffic getting out of the way.... and to top it off when the ambulance finally got through the mess of cars, the cars started to cut each other off.... i have thought about it for a little bit today and I've realised that no one has common courtesy any more.... everyone has to be first and no one better get in their way..... why have people evolved to this???? no one holds doors for anyone, no one lets someone who has less go in the check out line first, and god forbid you actually need something because most will look at you funny and turn away.... if there is hope out there for people to be civilized again or you have actually seen someone do something nice for someone other than because they have to, please tell them thank you..... at least for me...

Yes, the rude is out of control... I think the only way to turn it around is for each of us to do our part... even being sweet to the completely rude beyond help... even being polite to people who try control and abuse... they need more kindness to melt their hostile hearts...
this is how we show our kids how to treat others... 'children learn what they live'... they really do!

Kudos!
yes, the world has become cold and uncaring...
I agree that, those of us who are still polite could all ban together and 'pay it forward'!

at home they call me mommy said...

Maybe we could all start smiling at people.
