Idiots

People are idiots.
I have noticed, frighteningly, that the vast majority of people do not pay attention to their surroundings AT ALL. This should come as no surprise when you listen to the news in the morning and get the traffic update for Jacksonville: crash on this road, crash on that road, crash over here, someone going to the hospital over there. It's insane!!! PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! I ride a bike to work. I take the Riverwalk. It is a wonderful ride in the mornings, so peaceful and calm. Accept for the idiot people walking WHO ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION! It's a good thing that I pay attention to my surroundings otherwise I'd be running these people down left and right.
It gets me to wondering if most people are just that self absorbed and self obsessed that they have no concern whatsoever for anything else going on outside of their own personal bubble. Ugh. It's so frustrating. Why can't they wake up!? Maybe I ask too much. Perhaps my standards are too high. It could be, even, that I am a minority in a world that does not want, and cares not, to change! Especially with such an important election coming up in the next couple of weeks, one would think that we could all take a step outside of ourselves, look around, and take note of what is going on around us. Again, perhaps this is too much to ask. Perhaps "people", the majority, simply can not handle such vast responsibility as this. It could be too much for their delicate sensibilities, their fragile constitutions. But I digress.

Ciao.
