Resist the spirt of the world pimpin!

I recently found out that in 1911, British authorities passed a law designed 2 save the lives of coal miners. Each mine was required to keep 2 canaries (Birdz)in case a fire broke out underground- the birds would start to show signs of distress or even die from carbon monoxide poisoning. These canaries are very sensitive to the gas and would serve as a warning for the miners to get the freak up outta Dodge!!! I am sure everyone knows the dangers of carbon monoxide, being a colorless, odorless gas that kills by stopping red blood cells from delivering oxygen in the body, unless its detected or removed.
My point in all this is this.....the world we live in has an similar effect on us without realizing it. I once had a buddy who driving down the street when some young kid cut him off out of the blue. My buddy speeds up after him to flip the kid off, but the kids responds with a baseball bat in the air and my buddy responds with a knife in the air and the kids flashes a shiny gun right at my buddy's head......needless to say this ended the game of I can do better than you can do!
Personally, I was standing in the returns line at Kmart for quite some time and finally when it was my turn a manager walks up from behind with another customer whom she stated had been waiting in another line. I explained that I have a life too and needed to get out as soon as possible as well. I was told that I would be next in another line. I found my self furious of this small set back. I guess I was slowing becoming like the world and did not realize it. In retrospect, my last blog eluded to how people were killed for shopping. It seems the world has a way making everyone think they must have the latest and best of everything. I over heard a girl at store say she needed a new cell phone because hers was 3 months old and out dated!!!! I wanted to pull her aside and talk to her, but I passed.
What I learned about myself....STOP BEING ANXIOUS about life. I must remember to monitor my figurative canaries. I must seek the positive things first and the rest will follow. I don't think honoring a commitment is equal to faking it or being pseudo....I see it as being true to your self.
I am trying to resist the spirit of this old world..
