Losing Faith in Humanity?

Often we come across so many terrifying events in our life, that at one point of time we start losing faith in Humanity. It becomes so hard to trust and believe in another human being(Strangers) due to these events. Here are few such bad moments i experienced:

A man comes in wrong way(One way road) and almost hits me (who is walking).
I yell saying where the hell you going.
He : stops and comes to almost hit me, and asks why did you use slang on me.
Me: (Confused look)Firstly I didn't use slang and second you are on one way.
He: Starts speaking rubbish in his language which is not local language Kannada.
Me: If you cannot follow rules and do not know how to speak with women , you should leave this city. Bangalore is not for you. (Still scared if he would hit me)
People gathered and tried to call him down. And i walked away!

PS : Behave well with women is the least we could ask you. Anyways you wouldn't follow traffic rules!


Often i get cheated with the amount of fuel they put in petrol bunk. If i ask about it, only response is we put Correctly madam. One fine morning, as usual i go to fill fuel:

Me: Tank full boss
Petrol Bunk guy(P guy): Fills the tank and the amount comes to 313
Me : Paying by card
P guy: restarts the machine to pour petrol for others, and says pay 331
Me: It was 313
P guy : No madam, it was 331
Me : Feeling helpless pays what he asks for.


Even if we personally don't experience such bad behavior from others, media does the job by showing all bad things happening around. Even to give lift to someone i get really scared. I do not want to end up being a person who is paranoid and doesn't believe in other humans.

All that we could do as an individual is to respect and behave well with others.

"Live and let live"

It doesn't cost a thing to share positive vibes around!
