Probably not too unpopular here.
Standing waiting for the bus in my city with decent transit and I have 2 trucks rev their engines loudly past me, another one letting just clouds of pollution, watching people driving who aren’t paying attention and several people blowing cutting last second through a light. All in just 3 minutes by a small corner with light traffic.
Made me think how cars are inherently selfish. People don’t want to be around others (the fear aspect), so they drive their own bubble around. In addition to that, some go out of their way to make their cars even worse to people outside of them.
No wonder we can’t move away from them. They are a definition of our own culture

That seems pretty personal to me…
If you’re taking that personally then I would really look inwards, and ask yourself why you took that as a personal insult.
I mean now I’ll say you’re being selfish for not even trying to understand the point I’m trying to make.
And yet, I was somehow able to not take it personally despite my having similar reasons for needing a car as you.
