Wrecks

Now that I am working a full time job, I have to drive through the terrible traffic you hear about in movies and on television. Some days, the traffic is good and some days it's just awful. But I never complain. Mostly because I'm not the one driving. I used to carpool with one of my coworkers and business partners. He would always try to find the fastest route to work, but it would always end up taking a long time to get there. Whenever the traffic was really heavy, I'd look in other peoples cars at their expressions. They'd be mad and angry. I could picture them thinking, "Man whoever is holding me up is going to pay. I need to get to this job that I hate." From what I've learned about my commute, the traffic is only bad when there is a serious wreck. After a while, I thought about how ignorant most of the people that I share the road with are. Someone was just in a really bad wreck and could have died, and you're complaining about going to a place that can't support you and your family? I would like to say, "Now I understand where these people are coming from," but I really can't. How can someone be so caught up in themselves that they not care about another person in danger. I can say that I do understand why people wouldn't want to put themselves in life or death situations for another person, but not being considerate of a person in that situation is just... ugh. It makes me so angry. I don't like being angry. I age faster when I do that.
This is kind of a short post, but I wanted people to be aware for when/if they go into the working world. Be safe and don't drive when you're upset. It puts you and others around you in danger.
