People are strange...

So I am walking home from work today and I accidentally overhear the following, "One of them is ass ugly, one of them is medium ugly.." Then I am watching someone lay on the horn as he is tailgating this guy during downtown rush hour traffic. No one pauses, no one shocked, or surprised, just everyone going about their day like it is any other day. And that is what sets me off today...

People are damn strange. I am all about diversity among people. I like to know people's differences since I find we all can compliment each other in some way (if we try hard enough). But what gets me is how so much strangeness can happen all around us and no one notices anymore. How have we have become so numb to the colors and flavors and sights and sounds around us as to not notice anything anymore?

Is it me? Do I watch too much strange stuff in my spare time so that I am hyper aware of everything around me? But has that made me numb to the simple pleasures of life? If that is so, is that the reason I stayed in a relationship for far too long that was not functional? Is that why I possibly gave up too soon on another? All I know is that I just need to get out of this funk soon. I am getting too old to keep doing this hamster wheel anymore...
