NUTSHELL

I had occasion the past few days to be out on the highway the past few mornings and witnessed a portrait of modern urban civilization: rush hour traffic. It poignantly exemplifies and captures the following:

OVERCROWDING

REPETITION

LOSS OF CONTROL

CONFORMITY

WASTEFULNESS

HERDING

NEGATIVITY

STRESS

FRUSTRATION

ANGER

LOSS OF GOODWILL

LACK OF SPONTANEITY

LOSS OF INDIVIDUALITY

UNFULFILLED DREAMS


Every human being on the planet could stand on the ground in the state of Texas and each would have over 1,000 square feet to themselves. Space enhances identity.

Why oh why were they all on the same highway this morning?
