The Seat

The seat stands alone in a crowded bus. Nobody dares to sit on, but everybody wants it. In everybody’s mind is the lone seat in the bus, but seat is protected, it is reserved; it is protected by everyone and is reserved by the good manners. This is a round a challenge for every person on the bus.

So, it begins. The fat man suggests the seat to a girl, but she refuses now the tournaments have lesser member. So, the man continues there are few more women. The bus is so crowded that in winter I am sweating but nobody uses the seat to it purpose. Why?! Is it because the good manners?! Because nobody wants to sit?! But somebody had to take the blame, somebody has to be looked bad in the eyes. Is it worth it?! Can somebody live with the silent blame?! Can anybody live with the thought that somebody thinks of him or her as a rude person?!

So, I am standing there thinking to myself who will be a hero to take the chance but also; I think why do they care? Why do they care what other unknown and random people think about them?

So, I step up and take the place, and it makes sense to me. If not, people like me, all the seats will be vacant on the crowded bus. We who are brave enough not to care about society will be the proud saviors of it. If not us, things might not be used because of good manners and if they are not used for their purpose why making them in the first place?

So, I sit in the seat and look in the window. I avoid the crowd; I avoid the small glares expressions which I like to look at when I stand. There is judgement now, or is it? I am truly the son on society I am not a person standing alone going against the rules sometimes I am becoming a true member of the thing I hate and I think to myself if everyone is individual, we still be society of individual people we will become the thing we went against. What is the point of it then?

But I no longer think of it because I stud up and got out of the bus It was my station and the thought of my sense of blame which I passed down with the seat just flew out of my mind.
