Shortly after I had pointed out to a group of five 20-to-30-year-olds that it was rude to block my path, I entered the graveyard (which looks more like a beautiful park).
As I entered, four people walked out - with three dogs. I pointed to the sign next to the entrance and read off the fact that dogs were not allowed in the graveyard (and neither are bikes).
"Can't you read?" I asked.
"Yes, I can," said the middle-aged man.
Did he care? Was he the slightest bit ashamed? Not at all.
I don't know what I said to that. I was so enraged. Two incidences within 10 minutes of each other showing me that people these days just don't care. They don't care that their behaviour affects other people. They don't care that they do not do what they are asked to do.
What goes through people's minds? Anything? Do such people believe that they are so special, the rules simply don't apply to them?
Oh, if I were only dictator of the world. I'd go around shooting such people. After all, there are more than seven thousand five hundred million people in the world. If we got rid of these heartless, thoughtless, selfish bastards, I don't think the world would come to an end. And the rest of us would be better off. I'm still shaking after what happened in the park yesterday. With all the other incidences over the last 18 months or more, it's becoming a nightmarish place for me. And it's rare for me to see any pensioner there. They seem to have abandoned the park, too. Too full of idiots, it seems.
There's just a general lack of Sozialkompetenz these days, sad to say.
