Frustration...

Increasingly in my life I am finding I am getting frustrated with the world at large, and personal relationships are becoming a nightmare of epidemic proportions. Why has the world come to see that lack of respect for your fellow man and constantly going off into the world to "do unto others then split" seems to be many people's modus operendi. Maybe I am just having a bad day, maybe I am jaded from years of working in industry that is closer to the gutter than the average retail worker, maybe I am imagining things that really are not that way. Please don't misunderstand me, I am not saying that all people have become this type of person, many have not. It just seems that I find these people with more regularity than I ever have before. Have I become something of a changed man to have come to these conclusions, where once the optimistic young ideals have started to fade? I am lucky to have so many people in my life who truly do care, and who would go to any end of the world to come to my assistance, yet it is frustrating for me to deal with these self important individuals who I encounter every day. Is this the new world? Have our lives become so important and busy that we do not show the common courtesy to our fellow man? Why do people keep driving when an emergency vehicle approaches? Is it so important for these people to "get ahead" and put one over on someone else they would risk injury to someone who they don't know, most likely because they don't know them?

Some questions for all of us to think about.

Thanks

Thanks Thunder 6 for posting this. You have hit the nail on the head.

Well fortunetly I was not scared to give my kids a kick in the pants when needed, they were not allowed to disrespect anyone, they were also taught values and to stand on their own two feet and rely on no one.... If I did nothing else right, I did that.

LOL Yes he does, but he has respect for others.. on and off the track, he is a good kid. As a parent I couldn't have asked for more. Your kid is a great kid too, very polite, but also funny.... It's all in the upbringing.....

Thanks everyone for your comments...

Maybe I was trying to blow off some steam... writing does help. Those of you who know me personally know my personality is not usually this dark.

Thanks for listening.

I think we need to do what the states do and have camera's on these emergency vehicles and they get review and if you don't get out of the way to get a big fine.

I drive to Mississauga daily and take notice of this lack of respect for emergency vehicles also . Imagine how someone would feel if they cut off an ambulance taking someone special to them to the hospital and they died while not receiving medical assistance on time . The cop out on the highway doing his job and taking that final step into a drivers path , that was not paying attention . People do need to slow down and respect others . Stiffer fines may help reduce the numbers , but how about long term licence suspensions ?
