Oh, gosh!
I'm afraid I'm as guilty as anyone in terms of lashing out. I often blame it on living in NY. I daily have twelve fights before I make it to the deli for my coffee. Then have another twelve fights making sure they add the correct amount of milk and sugar. That doesn't take into account all the friction and obnoxious head butting that occurs in the afternoon and evening!
Your post's message is duly delivered and taken to heart. I will try to be less squirelly and more understanding of my fellow human beings. i will take time to shake hands, hug and let bygones be bygones.
I also bemoan the loss of simple manners, but acting ill-mannered doesn't seem an appropriate reaction! Only adds to the problem.
Mea culpa.
Sooo ashamed. Just sooo ashamed.
