Monsoon and Mood

It has been raining all week around here and I can here the thunder and rainfall outside my room as I am typing this. The picture was shot yesterday while I was riding my two-wheeler around the village. The cloud formation might give some idea about the whether and the mood camouflaged underneath it. A few demeaning creeps can overwhelm the warm feelings generated by hordes of civilized people. The abuse spewed out by just one jerk was ruining the experience for me today. The guy who threw a bagful of trash into the river this morning as I was driving out to work just kept bugging me. Treating people right means conveying respect, warmth and kindness to them -- and assuming the best about their intentions. But the game changes when people demonstrate that they are unmitigated jerks. I wonder when will be the time when everyone takes responsibility for pressing the "delete button" to expel assholes from the system.
