It’s a brand new day, a new job.
The waterfall is brilliant, but the chatters
are annoying the hell into me,
testing my patience with humanity,
but I’ve coached myself
to be compassionate,
so I let the voices commingle
with the tumbling water.
My brain starts to hurt.

“testing my patience with humanity,” Ain’t it the truth. Program says we should not expect people to do what we want them to. Have no right to expect such and are fools to think we can. Well Miami is so full of third world people incompetence. Is is too much to expect people to merely do their job and nothing more?

You’re right, but I’ve been thinking, “Who am I to judge?” I’ve been thinking that I need to go with the flow and just keep trying to do my best to be compassionate for all the humans.

Going with the flow of compassion for all humans … I like that comment you made. Aren’t we all just trying to live and live with whatever blessings and hurdles are in our lives? Humanity, in itself, is overwhelming to me.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I understand the overwhelming part, but we must try to go with the flow.
