Humans are unreasonable most of the time

Recently a friend expressed her views on facebook, some what disappointed about the society we live in and where it is headed to.

"Why do people get angry and agitated? Why can't some people take-in criticisms in a healthy way? Why do people carry grudge, hatred and blame others? Why do people become judgmental? Well, today's incident made me think about the healthy and unhealthy diversity around this world. I honked at an European American teen driving carelessly and was almost about to hit my car. His reaction to my honk..... A finger. . My reaction to his action.... Yuck and lol.... Well, when he was at mistake, why was he not able to accept his mistake... Because of my skin color? Well, people get agitated very easily over small things. All they want to show is their superiority. It's not only in this country but everywhere countries having diverse culture, diversity in all possible categories can't live in harmony. They might think that they are in harmony but not in true sense. What is your language, caste, culture etc? It's further dividing us a lot. We are all made up of same material but we have so much of emotions bottled up inside us. Kaama krodha Madha maascharyam. When do we come out of this? For ages, we are going through all these and still we are not tired of doing the same thing- hatred, blame game, jealousy, etc.Its not worth wasting our life over these insignificant issues. Wake up. Realize what life is. And who am I ?"

The interesting fact is that I know her for quite some time and in many instances of her life, when I was present what she felt bad at this time , seemed to be perfectly ok for her. I also noticed that the message carried the feelings of injury from living in a land made of people who are from different countries and different ethnic background. There is no argument that she is part of a very aggressive and very progressive culture which has no regard for anything other than being the best and the most fit. She is trying to preach a different religion than what is followed in the part of the world that she lives in.

My comment to her was

"He acted like a human and humans are mostly unreasonable and you can critique my statement and prove that the statement made by me is right, or you can accept the fact and also prove that sometimes humans can be reasonable."

The most basic fact is that even though we are gifted with what is called the 6th sense , the power of reasoning or the power of sensing, we hardly reason with ourselves and always try to act against ourselves, telling lies to ourselves and others and living a false life. It is ok as far as it works, and creates harmony with us and our surroundings.
