This was an awesome read. The author delves really deep into how each interaction shapes us. It reminded me a lot of how there is such a difference in life tempo between metropolitan and rural areas. In a city you are constantly being bombarded with environmental changes because of the dense populations. Rural cities don't have that. I travel a lot for work and leisure and never took the time to think critically about everything that is happening around me. I get aggravated easily with people who don't know how to move through crowds and efficiently interact with their surroundings. I guess I have been too quick to judge many.
