It is no wonder our country, nation, and planet has gone the way it has. People do as the please these days with little regard how it impacts others.
Today I was going out the door marked “Exit” and what do you know two men decide to enter through the “Exit”. They almost hit me and did not seem to care one bit. I told them that this was the “Exit”, but they ignored me. You maybe thinking what is the big deal. “Enter” and “Exit” are setup the way they are for traffic flow. When people decide they are going to do whatever they want, this causes jams that are uncessary.
Then another guy driving decided he was going to enter where the sign said “Do Not Enter”. Did this person care? The obvious answer was no. Why? Be cause he saw a parking spot that was closer than some others and how dare he have to walk another 15 feet if he would have followed directions and gone the correct way. Did it matter? I guess it depends on who you are. The signs are placed there to avoid traffic congestion and to avoid accidents.
Then there was the person who went the wrong way on the circle to cut off what maybe 100 feet and 15 seconds. I have know idea why this person thought it was okay to drive the wrong way. Again did it matter and the response is the same as above, the traffic flow is designed to be in accordance with the law to prevent traffic jams and to avoid accidents.
Then there are those that cannot wait 10 seconds while you get off the elevator. These are the ones that push you out of the way as you are exiting so they can get on as thought their life is going to end that very second if they do not get on the elevator. Again does it matter? It makes it very difficult to exit when others are in a hurray to enter which again causes traffic jams and necessary bumping into one another.
Then we have those people that are in a rush in the stores and who push you out their way to get what they want because they are in a super big hurry. It does not matter if they hurt you or not, but hey they got the item they wanted. Does it matter? Ask the person who got hurt.
Saying I am sorry is not acceptable all the time. I am not saying hold on to the offense, but people think I can do what I want then just say I am sorry and that makes things alright. I am here to tell you it does not. Think before you act.
We as a nation have raised a bunch of children who have little respect for any kind of authority and we think that is acceptable. I believe it is okay to question authority, even God allows you to question Him, but as with God when an authoritative figure tells you to do something then do it. There is one exception and that is if the authoritative figure is telling you to do something that will harm you.
