The race of humans is truly a splendor of Earth's creation. We are advanced in so many ways, ways in which most humans are rarely aware of. Though, on the other hand, there are many ways in which we fall short as a species. Today I was privy to such an example. Unfortunately, built within we have a need to follow the most motivated individuals. This is not inherently a problem, simply a blueprint for our social hierarchy to keep things in order. Problems, however, are created because no longer are we driven purely by instincts. Instead, our heads are filled with so much extraneous matter that we find it hard to form balance in our actions (simply observe people as they are). While I was walking today, I came upon a crosswalk. In an effort to be a good Samaritan (I'm not actually from Samaria), I pressed the crosswalk button and crossed when indicated. However, a good ten or twelve people in cars felt as if I was in the wrong and proceeded to honk at me. One older gentlemen felt it necessary to indicate with his vehicle that he would hit me if I did not hurry. Another classy gal decided to flip me the bird for pointing out that the little man in white was well lit and still shining. Now, I don't imagine that these people are inherently evil, but I am assuming that none of them questioned why they felt it the right thing to do by honking at me and proceeding to pull forward in an aggressive manner towards a man on foot. Albeit, this was a very busy section, and people are rarely used to dealing with pedestrians. But, I ask, does this warrant violent behavior (road rage). How many excuses can we make for ourselves before it becomes apparent that we must make our own choices and not just follow behind the person in front?
