How do people miss the bus?

Why is the concept of humanity such a hard idea to grasp for certain individuals? As a fellow human I find this issue very perplexing, especially considering I have studied the concept of humanity at the graduate level. Disclaimer: I haven't always been the best human in my past, however I do feel there is a learning curve that most people get a handle on by the time they are old enough to be out in the world on their own. Yet there still seems to be those out there that feel they are above the accountability of their own actions. This may be acceptable from the ages 2-5 years old, but beyond that you should not act in such a self-centered irresponsible manner. We all have to live on this planet together, so why not be a mature adult and act accordingly. This isn't a hard concept to grasp. If it gives you warm and fuzzies inside to mistreat a fellow human, well then this particular message isn't for you. You most likely need to be locked in a medical facility where you are unable to interact with the rest of us who don't find it amusing to treat others without the dignity and respect they deserve. If you are unable to empathize and or forgive another person who has wronged you, you should share a room with the person I just mentioned. There is not day in grade school that you can claim to have missed to justify you being an inconsiderate asshole. Life is the classroom. If you have made past the age of 16 you have had plenty of time to recognize the arc of the learning curve in regards of being a reasonable human. If you have not caught sight or are unable to be a part of that curve, well I've already expressed where you belong. Certainly not with the rest of us who want to see their brothers and sisters do well, and in turn, want the same for the rest.

Ultimately this post is about perspective and the human condition. If you believe that humans are inherently bad or evil than you should have stopped reading at ‘why is the concept of humanity such a hard idea to grasp for certain individuals’? I was recently wronged by an individual which was a very sobering experience which inspired this post. It reminded me that we are not all on the same bus. That bus which only makes stops for the passengers who do want to see their fellow passengers get to their destination. It's easy to forget that there are those whose miss this bus. Beware; it is hard to recognize those in the crowd who did not have the fare to get on the proper bus. Pieces and creases
