This is a continuation of my previous post as I felt it was becoming too long. So here is my second story. This one is not humourous like the first one but rather it illustrates the degradation of society. Again it takes place as I was walking to work, only a dozen or so yards metres from the first incident.
I was on the right most side of a group of weary-eyed morning commuters when some yahoo cut in front of all of us on an angle. The group was avoiding a puddle so I followed suit and was a couple steps away from a barricade on the right when this guy went by me. The space he tried to get through was apparently not big enough for him to go through and we bumped shoulders. No big deal, it happens all the time, especially in crowds. I continued on forgetting the entire incident when I felt a smack to the back of my head. It was the yahoo who bumped into me.
Despite what you might think by reading my posts, I don’t consider myself confrontational. I don’t attack people when they do stupid things but rather I just ignore them and curse to my friends or write a post about it. This time I was not going to let it go. I turned around and confronted this yahoo but he backed away and headed to where he dropped his bag. When I reached him he wasn’t as tough as when my back was to him so nothing further happened.
Who does that though? Who goes on the attack for a mere shoulder bump? I guess this just shows where this world is heading. Our first reaction is turning towards aggression not compassion or benevolence. I don’t really see why we’re trying to save humanity because in all honesty, there isn’t much humanity left in this world.
