Quantity over quality
Even if I say so myself, our generation was
taught well and specially in terms of consideration for one to be aware of our
space and act circumspectly and respect the space of others. We also knew
things like, you queue up on the left and let people move forward from the
right. We never had cell phones back then but we knew that we were supposed to
give way to the elders.
Today, just forget all this. Even airports
and stations have become like parks. Not to mention malls huge crowds, some
loitering while talking merrily on cell phones, oblivious of the fact that they
are blocking people behind them. Escalators have become a plaything, to run up
and down like kids, never mind who you can knock down in the bargain.
Of course, there IS nothing like queues for
some. Cutting through J walkers has become the single most frustrating exercise
in malls, stations and sometimes, at airports too.
There is NO consideration in people for
anyone other than themselves. Naturally, there is a resulting chaos, conflict
and much anger everywhere. Minds are frayed not only at the edges but from all
sides.
Quantity over quality is an accepted
situation. If you haven’t accepted this yet, you are in for depression and high
blood pressure.

Acceptance
Sometimes,
one should sit down and face the various facets of oneself. You will at first,
not be able to pinpoint very many and will draw a blank. But as you keep at it,
you will be surprised at what you can find out about yourself. That is if we
can accept each one of them and embrace them as a part of us. Yes, embrace them
after acknowledging them. Because shunning them would mean shunning we and we
wouldn’t want to do that. If you shun these, you will find a mirror effect in
people. They will shun you. That’s the way life works. So, accept yourself and
be accepted by others.
