Time is ticking.

As you're driving on a two way street, you're going one way while the other cars are going in the opposite direction. They blur past you in the corner of your eye quickly, almost as if they weren't there at all. You witness another person's moments of life happening; People you have never even seen before. This happens not just in cars, though. It happens when you see someone anywhere. I saw a woman the other day grocery shopping & she just smiled at me for no reason at all, there was a child in Shari's yesterday who I exchanged little faces with during our meals, there's those couples you see holding hands and just looking at eachother in wonder and awe. You're a part of someone's life the second you look at eachother, even if it's not for more than three minutes. It makes me angry since there is such a lack of respect for people in our surroundings anymore. People bump into eachother on the street and just keep walking, we curse and scream at people we only know by what they've done in High School, we hurt people or show them not one ounce of respect fpr the fact that we don't know the person. Respect is something that should be given upon first seeing a person. Atleast give people respect as someone just like you who has feelings, thoughts, fears, memories, bad habits- A human being. If they have proven to you over time that they don't deserve your time and respect then that's different. Then they have lost their priveledge to have respect from one more person in this World. But, why do we waste so much time and effort to be rude to a person when it won't ever matter. The negativity won't do anything but hurt another being, which will bring negativity to yourself in the ways of Karma. Whether it be guilt or you being treated negatively by someone else. It will come back to you. Why waste so much of our valuable time going out of our way to make someone feel pain, when we're all going to die? Every single person is going to die. You're going to be a part of many many people's lives for thirty seconds. What are you going to do with that thirty seconds?

I just enjoy speaking in general.
Somedays it'll be about important ideas,
