When I went to pick Megan up from Brownies tonight, there was a bit of a traffic jam.
People coming up the hill into the small car park to collect girls, and others, those who had arrived early, trying to get back out of the car park and down the hill.
Now, there is a second area, a bit out of the way, that could have accommodated a couple of cars and eased the congestion, but instead I witnessed the most ridiculous to-ing and fro-ing, 8 or 9 point turns and near collisions as people were determined that they were not going to give way to anyone else.
The true meaning of selfishness...putting the self first, irregardless of how it affects other people.
What a different world we would be living in if a few more people would stop to think about what action might be best for everyone, including themselves. I'm not suggesting that everyone should put others ahead of themselves, but seeing other people as just as important as themselves, with reasons that are just as valid as theirs, might just ease the traffic problems of the world!!!
Today I am grateful for those people who do stop and think before they rush into the breach.
Gratefully yours.
