~Journeying through the rain - Part 2

Despite the rain and the jam,
I suddenly found myself being grateful to God.
When you are not moving,
that's when you start looking at things around you.
First off, I thank God I have a car.
On the highway, I saw many motorcyclists
stopping by the side and putting on layers of
jackets. Not only they will definitely get wet but
they must be freezing cold.
When you're wet and the wind hits,
that has to be cold.
So they put on layers and layers of jacket.
And I pity those who did not bring theirs.
Cause they had to stop under a bridge, drenched.
I mean, that has to be frustrating especially
when you're rushing off to work.
And here I am grunting about the jam
moving so slow when they don't even get to
continue their journey. God forgive me.
When I finally reached the city,
I saw this Japanese like girl who
was talking to her friend on her hand phone.
She was drenched as well and now she's under the
monorail track. The thing is, she was smiling away.
She was laughing and then she turned her phone
over showing her friend how wet she was.
That is what I assume lah.
And here I am dry and I thought,
"what a morning".
She's drenched
but took it as something to laugh about.
As I continue driving I notice some were
running together with their friends,
and many with the umbrella but
they seem happier than us drivers.
All the faces in the cars were like as if
they/we want to punch someone.
Guess that is what getting stuck in a massive jam
can do to us drivers.
So I thought to myself.
I should be very grateful for what I have.
There's always someone better off than us and
there is always someone worse off than us.
So, you wanna know why I want a back honk so badly?
Cause when I'm about to cut lanes, motorcyclists
always tries to get closer and closer and sometimes
you just never know which lane they are on.
Plus, some cars just love to suddenly cut you
when you're cutting to another lane,
when clearly you're already half way through.
If I had the back honk, I would have honk
them as a warning that I'm cutting lanes. Lols!
But nah, if it exist, the road will be a havoc.
