Why Do People Rush Everywhere They Go

Why do people rush everywhere they go. Everyone is always is a rush to go somewhere. As I am driving to work everyday i see people flying past me. They are changing lanes back and forth. they slamming on their brakes and stomping on the gas. Why can't people be a little more patient. I will drive five miles and catch up with those same people. then they will start the trend all over again. Maybe it is because I live in Metro Detroit, Michigan. When i go down south things are a little different, people are different. I don't want to say northern people are different the southern people; but it seems to be that way. People add too much stress to themselves by rushing everywhere they go. I us to drive fast and rush everywhere just like the people I see everyday. One day I was driving home and saw an accident. A small child was killed when a driver tried to make a red light. When this happened they made the cars from the perpendicular direction turn to miss the drive. This caused a car to lose control and hit and kill a small child. That day something in me changed. That could have been my child. I began to think, there is not anywhere I am going that is worth someones life. That day I changed, I slowed down. Why do people rush everywhere they go.
