Today on the streetcar during rush hour, an old woman remarked to me about the ignorance of people not moving back to let more people on. I agreed with her. She was really sweet. Then she got up and asked him why he wouldn't move back and let more people on. They had some little discussion about it that I was too tired to eavesdrop on. But I did feel pretty bad that I didn't just jump on the chance to tell that asshole to move back when the operator asked.
I always feel this need to do what's right. I feel guilty sitting idly by as people around me are ignorant and even hurtful.
I want to be sworn to good and helpfulness and valor. But I want to swear to something with more authority than myself. Something less corrupt than a government institution, and less imaginary and abstractable than a religious doctrine.
Sometimes I just want to be a mofo paladin.
