Given peoples reaction on the train when it was delayed (and my choice to be an observer instead of a change maker). The impatient faces. The irritated faces. The shoving. The unwillingness to give way. The ignorance of pained expressions on others. I do wonder if push comes to shove, and we find our country in a situation of extreme adversity, will we be able to step beyond our individual needs and look at the bigger picture. To strive for the society's well being if it calls for patience and a little self sacrifice.
Sometimes I do wonder why we have grown up to be this way. Impatient with society when things are not served on a silver platter. Pointing fingers and pushing blame. Taking it out on those around us instead of thinking how best to share the cake, little as it may be, so that everyone is happy.
