School Fights
So today two bros at my school started to fight. I resisted the extremely feeble urge to run over to the scene of the fight, and so did not witness, unlike the 3000 other denizens of my peer community, one guy without a shirt and both throwing punches at each other. I didn’t inquire as to what caused the fight, or who was fighting, or who won, but this did cause me to reflect upon the futility of settling minor conflicts through a physical altercation. I mean, unless one of the them knocks the other out cold, there really isn’t any point, either to fighting or to watching.
It was also interesting to see the massive mob instinct of almost everyone at my school. Violence and free food - guaranteed ways to produce a massive popular response.
Oh humanity, what little faith I have in you…
Oh, hush (in a friendly sort of way, not condescendingly). The fact that this incident stands out to you means that it is, in some way, remarkable. I’m pretty sure that negates any faith-destroying elements of the event, or at least ought to.
