No Faith In People Anymore!!!

I have no faith in my fellow man anymore. Most people are selfish with the me mentally. My husband stopped yesterday morning at a Hardee's to get a biscuit and when he got ready to leave his truck wouldn't start. It was the battery. He told me no one would help him and if it wasn't for a guy that works on the same job site as he, he said he would have had to call me just to give him a jump.

Today I went to Cape Henry Hardware in Virginia Beach where I live to mail a letter. They have a contract post office inside. Well, there was one lady at the counter being waited on and two women at the table, each with a pile of stuff to be mailed and they were still working on it. One lady said ''we are in line''. And the clerk just nodded his head. I didn't move, but I told her to go ahead, she rolled her eyes and said we will go our turn. I said screw this and I told her that when people are in line that means they are in line and not working on their stuff to be mailed. I said I'll go to the real post office, I told her I can't stand idiotic people and left. What gets me is that I had one envelope to get one stamp for while these women had piles of stuff to go out. I mean, they would have to wait a whole minute while I got a stamp.

If I had my way I would move off somewhere by myself with my animals and just deal with people over the net. Get my groceries ordered, anything that I need just order it from the net.I have always let people in front of me if I see that they have one item and I have a bunch of stuff, whether in the post office or grocery store. I try to be nice to my fellow man. But I just give up, we have all these animals in the animal shelter ran by the city of Virginia Beach dying because they put them to sleep because they don't have room in the place they're at but they have money to build a rec center that you can't use on holidays because they are closed. Hell, that's when a lot of people want to use it, when they are off of work.

I know that furthering your education is really important, but it just kills me to see someone leave a large amount of money to a school while you could take some of that money and open a huge no kill shelter. I love art just like the next person but it's the same as the schools, I believe that keeping something alive and healthy is more important. I know that most people don't agree with me but that's what's wrong with the world today. They don't consider animals as important, they are just animals. That's why some people don't see anything wrong with dog fighting or cock fighting. These animals bleed and hurt just like we do, they just don't have the voice to speak out. Who will stand up for them?

So, am I being petty, was I wrong to think that when you are in a line it means you are actually standing there ahead of me or behind me? I won't even waste my time anymore on going back to Cape Henry Hardware post office because if the postal clerk doesn't have the nuts to tell someone that you're not in line if you're still working on your packages why bother giving them your money. They are a contract station so they make money on their sales. So, I'll just drive the extra mile or two and stand in a real line. At least at the real post office if you don't have your package done you are not considered in line unless you have a problem or question.

I agree with you; a lot of people are inconsiderate, they're concerned about themselves and they neglect each other as well as animals.

But you gotta remember that we humans are just as capable of helping each other out...thats what the Revolution of the Mind entails
