I've been reflecting ...Very, very true Laurie. I've been reflecting on similar too.<br /><br />I know of the man you speak and his anger who was at the airport. I couldn't believe his vitriol as I was watching. It was totally unbelievable. I also heard another woman interviewed on radio who was spewing forth about Qantas and would never fly with them again and on and on and on it went.<br /><br /><br />Yes people were inconvenienced but from what I heard from a hostess who came into the shop on Sunday (who works for an airline off-shoot of Qantas) the unions had been pulling rolling stoppages at short notice for ages. One plane here, one plane there. Those people were disadvantaged on the day 'their' plane was stopped too. But of course we didn't hear about those, as it was done on a minor scale stoppage I suppose you could say.<br /><br />Of course we would all be pretty upset if 'our' plane was stopped but sometimes for the greater good sacrafices have to be made.<br /><br />I also was witness to unbelievable anger when I did a market at Camberwell on Sunday. Sometimes you have to see things to really believe they go on. Stallholders being so intolerant, aggressive, angry beyond belief. All over other stall holders attempting to set up their stalls and manouevering cars etc. I truly could not believe it. I have done many markets but this last Sunday have never seen such nastiness. And why? It's crazy. Weren't we all there to do the same thing? Why not give a hand to that person who was struggling with their car instead of screaming obscenities.<br /><br />I was in a different place this time (and hopefully won't have that place again!) and witnessed four separate incidents of nasty aggression between stall holders.<br /><br />Human behaviour is very interesting. <br /><br />Anger and expression like we saw re Qantas or I witnessed on Sunday reflects a totally selfish attitude of these people. It's disgusting. So many people certainly have a long way to go on understanding what life is really about and that we are here to help fellow man and not just take.<br /><br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02339367082557773791noreply@blogger.com
