Christmas, along with new years. Interesting time to watch people. There is so much garbage in my mind right now its hard to start off on one thing and actually make a point. My brother phoned to apologize for not calling about Christmas, turn out hes working straight through, so my rant from the other night kinda of sounds stupid now.
I dont mind working through December. Its quieter in the city, and on the roads. What has caught my eye, is that it seems as if people are so unused to open roads, that mostly the assholes stay behind in JHB for December. My God the amount of bad driving I've seem in the last 2 weeks is amazing. Just today I say a man drive through a red traffic light, which had a right of way arrow for oncoming traffic. The guy in the car next to me was all hooter and exotic dancing......while on his mobile phone. Wow humanity.....just really, wow. I just seems that we are all so wrapped up in our lives that we don't see what a contradiction we are every day of our lives. What hypocrates we can be when we want. There is no humility in the world. We have all been taught to speak our minds cause its our 'right', and anyone who doesn't respect it, must be the bad guy. Beause I'm right after all? I was taught that I'm right, and its my right, to be right, even if I'm wrong.
Hey maybe I'm a Virgo at the end of the day, and like things ordered, but you cant go getting upset with someone for breaking the law, and then chastise them while you're breaking it. What category does that fall in to? Morals, ethics, logic, common sense? I was brought up to respect other people, even those who dont always deserve it. Well, at least on a very basic level. There are those who just have done nothing to earn my respect, and thats fine by me. I dont expect them to respect me, it boils down to; I'll leave you alone, and you do the same for me. Which is also respect, but like I said, a very basic level. Yet you bump into those who DEMAND it, and thats where we fail in my eyes. Everyone these days demands to be respected, because they have been taught that the deserve it. And im not talking about kids here. Its the adults that are the problem. Once again, the strick diet of Rumi and The Secret come in to play. They both have good points, and I'm not knocking them directly, but so SO many people have just taken the "I deserve anything, everything plus interest" idea and made it a lifestyle. Wrong guys, just wrong. Theres truth in what they say, but it simply isnt as easy as believing you deserve to do what you want, when and how as well, and blaming the universe when it doesn't happen.
Have a merry one.
