I know I'm typically the sort to rant about the state of human affairs, and how much faith I have in us. Stupidity tends to get to me a teensy bit more than it does to the average guy, hence I tend to express my frustration quite quickly.

Still, last night's incident leaves me viewing the things that typically tended to upset me as far more trivial. Bumping into someone who is married bonking someone else who is planning to propose to their other half next month on a fire escape stairwell leaves me more calm, funnily enough. Most other things that get under my skin seem to be dull little annoyances in comparison, yet I can't find myself getting upset about what I saw either.

I'm not surprised, I'm not shocked, I'm not taken aback. I'm just rather blazé about the whole thing. We, as a species, are imperfect, and as such, are prone to making mistakes.

In summary, I guess in the past couple of years, I've learnt to look at things as if they're more trivial. Time erases the past, and change is pretty much the only constant in this world, and allowing myself to get upset by things like this is really rather stupid. The only other things that are sure in this world, are taxes, death, and the fact that given a long enough time period, we all make mistakes.
