The world as we know it

So I am on my way to work today, and on the radio they are talking about how the world is so fast paced, over priced, and rude. I find this to be true! We are such a greedy and mean society lately, and for no reason. How hard would it be to just smile at someone you don't know?

For instance, a woman in Manhattan is 8 months pregnant and rides public transportation frequently. When she got on the bus, it was full, and no one moved for her. No one offered there seat to an obviously pregnant woman. So she stood for her entire ride, in pain, and miserable. Vary rarely does someone put her needs before there own. I understand that, no one did things like that for me when I was pregnant either. It is not like we expect it, but it just is confusing how people live with themselves being so selfish.

Like Starbucks. They make a bazillion dollars from us! People go there not only daily, but sometimes twice a day, and they raised the price a nickel! A whole nickel. It doesn't effect the consumer right away, but it does add up. It adds up in there pockets.

Same goes for drivers too. People are in such a hurry to get somewhere they literally risk there lives to get from point A to point B. They run red lights when they could wait an extra 3-5 minutes, not risk there life or anyone else's and what do you know, they are not breaking the law. Then there are those people that speed ahead of you, cut you off, then end up right by you the entire time. They didn't save themselves anytime, but they did just risk YOUR life, and didn't even get very far.

I could go on and on I am sure about situations similar to these, but I am sure you get my point. So moral of the story is, don't be so rude, don't be in such a hurry, and realize that other people have feelings too.
