Well I must say that that I’m not easily bothered, but recently (because I’m on vacation-mode) all those people on the streets and stores, they have unbelievable rush to somewhere, elsewhere ——> inside their phones.

For example:
I was having a snack at one local Vietnamese restaurant, small place with great staff.
Well snack and snack… ordered the whole page, but that’s not the point. There were few couples and they were eating like in super speed, then they left. No conversation or anything, both were just tapping their phones and they ate like Garfield.

Noticed the same thing when one buddy of my visited me.
He had urgent things on his phone and he was tapping it all the time.
He talks when asked, but mostly it’s like something is going to happen and you’ll need to be aware of the situation all the time. After all, no-one had plans… weird…

I might be some sort of weirdo, because I don’t have to check my phone all day, especially when I’m hanging out with people… my phone can wait, he ain’t no master of me.
Also, I like conversations with people, means nothing to me if it’s with strangers.

Back to the streets… mmmkay…

There were these people, old young doesn’t matter.
Hanging out on the bench, standing line, shopping, eating… they all share this rush… like they all have to be someplace else or elsewhere…
Even the people who are walking, they share the same passion.

THEN SUDDENLY!

I saw elderly man sitting on bench just watching around.
I sit beside him and asked: “how are you?”
Oh the smile on his face, like he never before saw a human who is capable to speak.

He told me a story about how he had traveled here with his camping car.
He visited so many places before this destination and he was not even sure where to go from here.
(Long story with many funny accidents)

I asked: “Do you travel alone?”

Nah, wife is buying some kind of game for grandson because he likes to watch that devils machine all day…

I laughed a little in this point and told him about what I was observing right now.

We had a good long talk and I still don’t even know which is his name, lovely man tho. God bless his journey.

But back to the prompt, if you didn’t already realize then YES!! I’m bothered by the rush.

What ever that means..

Yours. “Wanderer” Jay
