I don't get it...

I sometimes feel like I am just completely out of sync with the rest of the human race. This morning I was so excited to leave for work, because they opened a new road and I can just go straight to the freeway instead of making a u-turn and coming back to the entrance ramp. Well I guess a lot of other people were excited about it too, because there were a lot of people on the new road. The little people that make things work, evidently did not fine tune the traffic signal, so there was a long line there. Only about a half a car could get through the light before it changed. As I am setting and waiting for my turn to get through the light, I watch countless cars pull out from behind me and drive up the next lane and then cut back in front of others to get in the turning lane. I just don't understand what these people are thinking. I mean do they really have a self dialogue that says things like, "My time is way more important than these folks" or "Where I am going is way more pressing than where they are going" or do we just have no time to think of others at all. This kind of behavior doesn’t make me as mad as it does sad. Sad, that this how fellow humans treat each other. I guess it is just the old hippie in me. I want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony and I want to give them a coke, but cutting just gets my love beads in a knot.
