When I woke up today at 9 am, I was already terrorized by the prospects of ruthless traffic and honking I am going to face. No I wasn't sleeping on the road, and was just worried by the fact that I have woken up late enough to get caught in city's traffic, after a torturous night - a night which plundered Nadal in one continent and Argentina's magical style of football in another.
So what is the deal with this traffic thing, man.I mean how difficult it is to drive. Almost everyday I see multiple Scorpios piercing the roads and sometimes the occupants with their noses and noises. Other times I will just wonder the urgency in my momentary neighbor's life who will overtake me from right and after 10 metres cut me to take the left turn. And believe me, this guy's soul keep changing bodies - or maybe it has reproduced so many times that almost a third of drivers get a headache if they don't perform this drill everyday.
All these things I have learnt to maneuver now. And I am proud MANeuverer now (and there is no hidden reference to German goalie). But what lies outside my control is the stupidest thing you will notice in traffic - honking. Standing ahead of me are 7 rows of vehicles, and I will still hear horns from 5 rows behind me. I try to be humorous at first, and jerk it with a smirky smile saying What am I supposed to do my friend - Suddenly transform into my Superman outfit and make these vehicles fly for you? But the second instance of this irritating noise just makes me slip. This time again there is a smile - But its the smile of the devil within me. You have succeeded in waking him up, and you will see the consequences of it when next time you will be ahead of me and honking others. Unfortunately every honk that is supposed to trouble you will also trouble everybody around you, including me.
You also make me judgemental. And I like to think about the shittiest things I could compare you to. Long traffic lights give me enough opportunity to do that. You sound to me like that whiner at those meaningless offices, who keeps cribbing even more meaninglessly and no one else listens. At the most if they listen, they just listen to feel their blood rushing into hot temperature zone, and then calming down to deal with it another day. And you know sometimes you meet a person whose blood will boil and will not calm down.
I might be that guy as well. So, Mr. dear Honker - Please forget what I or people like me could do to you. Just think of how much foolishness and irritation you are spreading through - which in some way will come back and hit back at you (heard of Karma). So just be a bit long term selfish, rather than the short term selfish. That's all I request of you
