[QUOTE="Steven Bobb, post: 31888267, member: 736329"] One thing about "the world" is that ,either people unconsciously copy each other, or for whatever the reason may be, something seems to become "the thing" to such an extent that it gets to the point where you see everybody doing it, and I get cynical about wondering there's anyone other than me who DOESN'T do the current "in thing!"{Also, although I know, or at least strongly suspect, that these things are of the world, and not given approval by God, because it's so widespread, and so many people doing it, and moreso, because it's so crammed down my throat from every direction,and the "trend" goes on and on seemingly forever, it even makes ME wonder if maybe by sheer animal instinct "the world" stumbled upon something that God approves of.Much like Samson,with Delilah.{"And because she nagged him until his soul was vexed to the point of dying, he finally gave up his secret to her."} Now.. the specific thing in this case..Rushing. Every time I go somewhere, I see people driving like maniacs,like lunatics, meaning, they tailgate,up your butt, they honk EVEN IF THERE'S A GOOD REASON YOU STOPPED, like you don't want to run the person crossing over, or crash into a turning car in front of me,{in other words, I'm trying to do the right thing, and they're pressuring me to do wrong to satisfy their"rush rush" attitude.} Also, not just with driving, people exhibit this "rush rush" attitude in general.
