Last night I went to a concert and stood in the mosh pit in front of the stage. For the first band, everyone had their own space, and respected eachother. For the second band, things got tight and pushy, everyone was desperate just to get a few inches closer to the stage. My two friends had to bail. For the main band (the third band) I was getting knocked around, stepped on, and extremely constricted. Why couldn’t people stand how they did for the first band. Everyone could see, everyone could breath, and everyone was having a good time. Everyone was only about 5 inches closer for the third band than they were for the first. Are people that nearsighted that they need to be the closest they can get to be able to see anything?
This reminds me so much of society. People are greedy, inconsiderate, aggressive, and they blow little things out of proportion. I mean, HOLY CRAP, the things people would do for five inches! This is the situation in traffic (vehicle and human), school, work, stores, etc. People push, shove, take advantage of, destroy, hurt, offend, manipulate, other people for the littlest things these days.
Aren’t we a gregarious species? Aren’t we designed to help eachother to survive as a whole? Aren’t we social animals? Some species live in groups and help eachother, feed eachother, groom eachother, and look out for eachother. Other species live alone and fend for themselves, competing for food and territory. The way I see it, humans are the only gregarious species that act like tigers.
I just cannot believe the lengths people will go to for the smallest, meaningless things. I cannot believe how selfish society is today. I cannot believe people will fight to the death over 5 inches.
