Is humanity crap? So today I'm in the pub, I'm walking to the bar and some drunk chav is walking along with his mate who's complaining about someone. I assume that it can't be me as I haven't done anything. Then, one of them asks me "are you going to the toilet?", I assume he wants to know where they are and so direct him. He replies "are you going?" I said "no, I'm going to the bar." He replies, "you're bloody lucky then" while his mate practically drags him away. I'd not spoken to anyone other than my friends and thereofre had done nothing to offend anybody.
The other day I was walking into town, a bus was driving along the road towards me so I stood at the lights waiting for it to pass so that I could cross the road. However, it started slowing down, very very nearly to a complete halt. The lights must have changed, I thought, and so started moving to cross the road. At that point the driver beeped loudly, accelerated, shouted out the window at me and gestured.
These are really, really, REALLY, meaningless examples compared to the actually serious things going on in the world, but my point is that I honestly doubt whether the majority of people would fit what I call "decent", "intelligent", "friendly", "kind", etc. I'm really not sure. I'm at university and so most of the people I meet are reasonably intelligent but I'm honestly beginning to think that this gives me a slanted view of what the human race is like.
Are the majority of people idiots? |
