"2 questions to make you think"


  

          

Say you arrive early to be sure to get in for a very popular event.


Do you mostly exult that you are sure to get in or do you feel kind of sorry for the late-comers who surely aren't going to get in to this very popular event?



Then, say, the numerous late-comers who are upset they aren't going to get into this very popular event start a riot and just prevent the event from even happening.


Do you say: "well, they were too upset to accept a 'loss'" or are you upset they just prevented the event from happening?

down.

scarface and BYB, bowie state homecoming.

i will never forget the bullshit.

AND it's not the early, or the late-comers' fault.

it's the venue's fault for not being able to properly receive people at this 'very popular event'

If there was an event that I really wanted to go to I would try and get there early. I'd go with the knowledge that there's usually only a limited amounts of spaces/seats or whatever at a popular event. I wouldn't exult. I wouldn't feel much of anything other than hopeful anticipation that I may get in. If I got in then I'd feel glad and relieved that I got in. I may feel a bit sorry for the latecomers that didn't get in, but that feeling would be very fleeting because I likely wouldn't know these people, and unless I were to engage in conversation with anyone, and depending on the circumstances for being late, I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone.

If there was a riot which resulted in the event being cancelled I'd be feeling quite angry more than anything.

someone comes rushing at you saying "My flight is about to leave can I get in front of you?"

Do you feel like they should have gotten to the airport on time like you did or do you let them cut without thinking about it.
