Elephant in the room

[MPRTwice]

So, I do try to use a _lot_ of humor to make fun of my situations: fever, crazy mma people, bureaucrats, etc.

However, it really is not as easy as it sounds; I just poke fun at myself because it works, and it keeps me from complaining.

So I want to ask: what's really stressing a lot of people out? Is it one general thing? Many people went crazy recently and became hyper aggressive; even road rage has multiplied.

Diseases have been common too; I missed no days, but was at the recieving end of a lot of violence at work while many took two months off to go the ICU, for the same thing.

And the funny part is that most people at work, etc. really enjoy my company, but ones who try to oversee certain things often despise me. I had my head low as I did seminars for martial arts and science across the U.S.; most leaders _hated_ me as soon as I demonstrated the techniques, even though the attendees absolutely enjoyed them and said they actually work.

Well regardless, I hope many people here have a great week coming up. I'm out for summer, but my first week is me taking it easy with the flu; stay safe and relaxed people. I hope someone treats you all very kindly today.

Everything is politicized
+ the everything and everywhere culture pushed by some combination of globalization, cell phones, cheap telecommunications in general, "cheap" and "fast" shipping accessible to common people, etc
+ certain people and their vested interest in amplifying the differences between rich and poor
+ post-Twin-Towers constant infringements of freedom and privacy (ie the terrorists won)
+ .........
+ "survival instinct"
+ overpopulation (or rather, knowing about that, rather than direct consequences of it... for now)
= "it's all about me"

even road rage has multiplied.

For one, a few years ago govarmints (see?) all around the world unilaterally said people should not be driving around, and many of them noticeably lost practice and confidence, but obviously it's not the only factor;
For another, it's pretty much impossible to buy a small car (by European standards, that is!), everyone pushing disgusting SUVs with "iPads" allegedly to justify stupidly high prices = "what do you mean I can't, I paid for this"

As for the title of the topic and cars, how many elephants fit in a 500?
