I have been thinking a lot lately about people. Why are people so rude?
Occasionally I meet people that are compassionate, caring, and genuine but for the most part people are horrible. I am sure that everyone has witnessed some jackass in a car speed up instead of let another vehicle merge after blinking for a block. Another situation, people in a warm dry car who can not yield to pedestrians. Or another, people who make comments about others within earshot.
What is the virus that is attacking human kindness.
Is it apathy, low self esteem, is it out and out malice? Why are people so incredibly hurtful to others? Weigh in and let me know what you think...I would like to have some theories on this.

My theory on the uncontrollable human urge to show no empathy.....PEOPLE SUCK. That is why I try to mold young minds like that of 5th graders. We can only do so much Denise!!

Children and Adults here are all rude! I am amazed that I go to listen to my Daughter's beautiful voice as she sings a solo for the school concert and the Adults behind me have to talk because their child is not performing! If the Adults have no respect for other human beings how can children be taught right to respect others! You have to learn that not everyone in this world is nice! So when you do show some empathy for another human being - it will come back to you at some time and some place! There are some good people in this world! It is just there are fewer and fewer of them! Just keep showing kindness/love/empathy because it will come back at ya! What is the old saying! You get what you dish out! Those who are dishin dirt will be swimmin in it soon!
Love You
I think our lives get boring and the only way we can stay entertained is by picking apart the faults of everyone else. What's funny though is that those faults...we usually possess. We complain about people pissing us off and then we turn around and do the same things. Sometimes we, as humans, are morons.
I feel like one of my favorite authors, Chuck Palahniuk sums us up well, "People don't want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messed cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown."
I felt horrible reading this...as I realize that I am, at times, one of those people. Sigh...
