Yes, there are definite strains of life. While people are also navigating their own shrinking mortal coils.
I thought the same thing today while driving. A guy, who technically had right of way, cut me off for trying to turn before him.
Due to increases in traffic, his turn was momentarily impeded, that is why I made a decision to take advantage of his 2 second delay.
For both of us, it wasn't even an inconvenience to roll our eyes, give a thumbs up, or a shared chuckle. But, the current mood was more to aggressively assert their "right".
Much like the miscommunications, misunderstandings, over shared areas, adds more drama than the situation requires.
A delightful post!
That is exactly how it was, small conflicts blowing up instead of over!
