It's the end of the world as we know it.
There she is, Sarah Connor, behind a fence, watching children play and her adult son John. She doesn't look happy because she shakes the fence furiously and yells something, while an explosion takes place in the background that destroys everything around her. This is a scene from the movie “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” but when I hear the lady scream in my ear that she really needs the shoes she ordered tomorrow, like it's a matter of life and death, I can only see her as an alternate version of Sarah Connor, standing at that gate, shaking “My shoes, I need my shoes,” then freeze when that explosion comes, and that she with a tear in her eyes, sighs “I could have stopped this if I had had my shoes today”
She is not the only one who has such a kind of “dramatization” There are many people who pretend to wait a day longer for a package is the end of time. It sounds bad, and quite dark, but you should know what kind of stuff I hear, people who say that if the shoes don't come in, her child has no shoes now, or that the entire wedding they're going to as a guest is now ruined because they don't have the pumps that match the outfit. As you hear, really, the end of time, things. When I look at the office, father, and see his face on Krakatoa stand, he also has such people on the line, and I remember what he said to me months ago. “People think they are the main actors in this film, but, like us, they are nothing more than noble extras”
I also understand these people, but it's something I see more often, maybe, too often. When I put on my headphones in my seat on the train at the end of the day and people do the same thing again, because yes, that big cabin suitcase, it really has to be in the seat next to you at rush hour, and can't be put on the luggage rack, a matter of life to death.
No, really, that silent conversation Coupe between those 2 ladies really has to be a matter of life to death.
That bike really has to go on this train, even if there is no more space, a matter of life to death.
I often don't get it, and yes, maybe I don't want to understand it either, because this “Catalog” girl is used to things taking time to come, who learned that not everything is about me.
When I sit back at my workplace the next morning with a tired face from too early a morning, the phone rings and I pick up to hear that the order hasn't been received yet and that now a week later's birthday is ruined, you know, a life-and-death thing,
Then all I can think is “It's the end of the world as we know it, And I feel fine”

Je moet het maar kunnen, @Lilith Rose !
We zouden wel anders piepen als we echt in de pure zaten, geen geld hadden en zelfs niets of heel weinig om op te eten.
Zoals er ook mensen nog op onze aarde bestaan.
Onze levensstijl.is ook te druk geworden nu zowel de man als de vrouw uit werken gaat en we er nog een koppel kinderen daarbij op na houden ook. Te veel, is te veel.
Daardoor zijn we veel prikkelbaarder en onverdraagzamer geworden
