People are not nice people!

Although it goes against most of what I believe in as a christian but its something I've been gradually realising over the last couple of years of my schooling age, an age of which I consider to be my "growing up years". People are just not nice people.
If I was unsure of my condemnation, it was certainly clarified for me on a recent trip to London, Wednesday daytime.
It was a normal day in London and I had an hour and a half to spare before my audition, so I decided to spend half an hour just relaxing in Trafalgar Square at the base of Nelsons Column..
Nothing unusual there but its what I saw whilst sitting on this fantastic display of historical architeture..
I realised that every single one of these people in front of me have their own lives.

Not very shocking huh?
Well, Your right..not really..
But then I realised, out of all these people.. Londoners, Scousers, Manks, Australians, Italians, French, Spaniards, Americans, Germans..
None of those people cared a less whether I was there or not.

My point being, would anyone even care if I dropped dead that instance?
Just so long as it wern't them?
The answer is No. They wouldn't care.
Which is a horrible thing to say but its true.

Theres a lot that comes to mind when a realisation such as mine occurs..
Strange, paranoiac thoughts!

I guess people are happier in their small selection of people.

I then thought if I ever become famous, would it change?
The answer is of course it would!
People have a fixation with famous people..
I don't know what it is about the more times your face is seen, the more you are admired.

When real heroes such as Doctors and Nurses and Firemen.. They are walked past in the streets as in the eyes of the modern "common-fashionista" society, They are no-one.

But obviously, there are nice people in the world.. You've just got to find them...
But hey, Thats half the fun ;)
