A Day in Flight!

I travel often for work and can’t help but notice things as I do.

Today I flew from Palm Springs to Dallas and then Dallas to NYC. It amazes me how people act in public. It makes me wonder how they act in the privacy of their own homes. If you pick your nose in the airport in broad day light while waiting in the boarding area what do you do at home? And what about all of these people walking around texting while pulling a suitcase, not paying attention where they are going, how slow they are walking or how rude it is. I can’t help but wonder…..Are people getting to the point where they just don’t care about ANYTHING but themselves? Like, there is no reason to be polite, courteous or have any sense of social decency.

Just the other day we had a member of Congress blurt out at the President of the United States, a professional Tennis champion go off on a referee and a music artist interrupt the acceptance speech of one of his peers.

Do we have a social consciousness anymore? Do we even care if we do? Do we pay attention? And what are the messages being sent ….”Do what you want, break a law, speak out of turn…..and then just apologize or pay a fine and all is ok again. If this is the direction the world is going I am truly mortified!

I can’t control any of it. So I have to let it go. But I can use it to my advantage to remind myself not to behave in this manner. I can blog about it and hope the some of you reading will think about it.

There may be a day where even I may open my mouth in an inappropriate manner and have to apologize about it, but I do know this – you will NEVER see me picking my nose in an airport!!
