Well Traveled

We are selfish creatures. Acting in our best interests, and only ours. Or at least toward our survival, which may or may not be in our best interests. We see this when we travel, airports especially. Humans are in theory normally capable of semi-civilized behavior act as though they’re ready to find Piggy at every slight, perceived and otherwise. From hovering at the lounge buffet like we’re auditioning for the Hunger Games, to the instant expert on airline operations ready to explain to the rest of us why that flight is REALLY delayed, it’s a running exercise in pre-dystopian humanity, fueled by the knowledge that once this kind of thing had a sort of magic. But while that magic is gone and in some ways for the better, maybe ahead we can find some of it again, and the skies could be a little more friendly.
