The effects of scorching summer can be felt by everyone in our tiny island. Blinding light, unbearable heat and dryness and highly irritating flies and mosquitoes make living conditions far from ideal…but well, on the whole summer is nice and people like it for the sea and holidays. So, you can easily see bunches of people gathering their whole family and friends and packing themselves on the beaches, to cool off a bit. There is nothing nicer than a BBQ with friends….unless your neighboring BBQ people are hindering you… as what was supposed to be the most pleasant evening might easily turn into hell...
Technology is meant to make our lives more comfortable but yet… I still find it hard to go for a BBQ and enjoy a calm night with cool sea breeze when there are half a dozen generators revving to generate electricity for artificial lighting and loud music…
Respect is something which does not exist in certain people’s dictionaries. Egoism is one trait which people can easily live without. “I’m fine….so others should be fine too… if they’re not…bad luck for them!”
And what can be said about hot headed people? Some people just can’t control their temper and moreover less capable of holding a decent argument. Again the summer heat does not help in this and a couple of extra beers just make the perfect combination for a time bomb. Just notice the way some people drive, handle unexpected situations and talk to others. Don’t want to be judgmental but it is hard not to notice these scenarios. They happen far too frequently and could easily get you in trouble. One could be going his own way just to find some “stupid” (sorry for the word…but no better decent word comes to mind) person who will turn your day into a nightmare.
Again, will not go into the merit of what is right or wrong, there is the law for that. Common sense is a rare commodity to a certain sector of society, but the following quote gives enough food for thought!
“When you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong, you cannot afford to lose it.” M K Gandhi
