Do You Ever Get Tired?

Do you ever get tired of no please and thank you? Of honking horns in anger? Rolling of eyes in disgust? Fast cars in a hurry to go nowhere? Flippant remarks to fellow human beings? Arrogance that demands pleasing of self? Not speaking when you're spoken to? Cigarette butts tossed out of car windows? Children who scream and yell in public places and nothing is done about it? Trash left behind without regard? Speeding in and out of traffic to be the first? "Telling" others instead of "asking"? Blaming others instead of yourself? Noise, yelling, talking loudly, noise pollution? Groups or individuals demanding their own way at the expense of others? Money spent without regard or discretion? Tossing out half-finished expensive gourmet coffees? Children not being taught right from wrong or etiquette by adults who don't know any better? Lack of simplicity in home, social, and world affairs? Assumptions drawn too fast because we want fast conclusions to complicated matters? Of children, or adults, who are ill-prepared to fend, provide, and take care of themselves in this big world?

It scares the hell out of me sometimes. The worst part? Sadly, I'm afraid I speak from experience. I am worn out sometimes of making my way through this place we call our world, our home. I'm exhausted. I've developed a horribly cynical, stilted view of the sea of humanity. Suddenly, even violently, the fingers you are pointing are stretched forth -- outward -- in guilt and hope for self preservation. For I am little better.
