Accident

On my way to work today,
I witnessed how fear
makes a person barbarous and aggressive.
Fear triggers the instinct to protect our own selves.
That's a natural law. That's our most primal instinct.
But once you crossed the boundary to intimidate
and terrorize others in order to protect yourself,
you instantly loose all the virtues of humanity.

On my way to work today,
I saw my colleague got into an accident.
Listening to the arguments from both side,
it was obvious that he was at fault.
Yet, what amazes me was how he reacted.
His hands were trembling, he was frighten,
but cold harsh words were used,
a terrorizing attitude was displayed.
He attempted to intimidate, attempted to dominate.
He, a nerd. I would have never expected this from him.

Do we commit terror because we are in fear?
Do we hurt someone simply because we feel insecure?
The world could have been a better place.
