Is anyone else being troubled by how aggressive folks are increasingly becoming on roads, in markets, in public, everywhere? They would rather run a pedestrian down than wait their turn. This happens often in our community and people are getting killed and hurt badly. There seems no end to it. Crime is growing worse, bullets are flying everywhere. So many are hurried, impatient, they don’t want to wait or use common manners.  I’ve seen so many in markets scream and yell at workers. We are so lacking peace and calm since the pandemic, people are simply a fright.  It calls to mind Sartre’s famous line ‘hell is other people’. Meditating safe at home and avoiding the public is the only thing I can think of to stay safe and sane.
