How to fix the worlds problems? Respect. In some terms meaning respecting others through individuality, being a part of a group that is self sustaining. For example, the out of work or the homeless working together to sustain cohabitation or partnership through economies of scale. In other terms meaning reading the other person and not expecting them to ”read your mind” or react to you in kind. We are not all the same and yet we are not all that different. When it really comes down to it. Every day on the road I see people cutting eachother off and yet when they get cut off they react emotionally and combatively. It is hypocrisy and the road is only one forum. We see this in politics and we see it in our every day lives. People fail to take accountability and responsibility for their actions. Notably so and with recent relevance -- in politics. They blame the politicians from the opposing party when they just have to look at their own party and that their own party has to be the “bigger person” and identify a compromise to take the reins. It all fundamentally boils down to respecting one another. No one is perfect. And yet everyone must rely on eachother, in some way, whether seen or unseen.  I posit that Respect is a lost art and is barely even a science at this point. This further permeates into false veneer customer service with representatives failing to even give one time to answer the question “How Are You?” even whether or not the asker of the question finds it relevant data. Ultimately, getting angry or happy is not the key--it is being respectful. Because, in the end, we are all accountable, to.
