Each of us then reacts/responds to what you write differently. My sense is that human behavior is complex, unpredictable, and illogical. You capture this well in your writing. <br />The meaning of our behaviors is a whole other area...and this has kept preachers, philosophers, teachers, therapists,criminologists, psychologists, and others busy trying to understand and thus predict and/or change individual or group behavior. <br />The older I get, the more I try to not ascribe to malice what might better be attributed to ignorance/fatigue/pain, etc. I can get totally involved in trying to figure out what I can't change even if I can understand it....<br />thanks for letting me 'talk' on your blog today...and thanks for writing...i read you first every day. clairesmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320822826417512140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-15070316973310561822015-02-22T14:09:46.127-05:002015-02-22T14:09:46.127-05:00Yes, I do agree we can all be mor patient with eac...Yes, I do agree we can all be mor patient with each other. IN those people's defense, though, it's often hard to switch emotions on a dime. If they were already feeling frustrated, or rushed, or stressed, (or maybe all of the above), an apology for slowing them down, coming from someone they don't kno might not register-at least, not right away.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-61335520989862352102015-02-22T10:50:20.761-05:002015-02-22T10:50:20.761-05:00Maybe impatience and assery are not a disabled/non...Maybe impatience and assery are not a disabled/nondisabled thing?

That makes me fractious, as it takes me a long time to get places.<br /><br />In principle, though, I agree. I try to feel solidarity for others whose mobility is impaired. Holding a door for someone who obviously needs it, while standing with my walker, feels good and useful. Half the time, no one able-bodied will do it. They don't understand the need. It might delay them a few seconds.<br /><br />AliciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
