I don’t want to deal with you!!!

The airport is one of those places where we can see so many emotions intermingling. The positive, the negative, and perhaps many other multi-dimensional energies floating around.

I reached the airport emitting one of those undefined multi-dimensional energies, holding a lot of it.

After the security check, like most humans, I stood in the first line I saw without thinking twice about which one might move faster. After a minute, I realized the line on my right was better since the scanning machine was larger and didn’t require removing electronics. I didn’t mind switching, considering I’d already chosen my line, and the effort to switch felt greater than just staying where I was.

The airport could have done a better job with efficiency by putting the better machine in a spot where more people are likely to line up first.

As I waited, I saw a family come in. The man looked tense, as though he was in one of those states leaning towards a stressful dimension.

Like most humans, he stood in my line, even though the other lines were less busy and the right-hand line had the better machine. As he joined, one of the agents came over to tell him there was a faster and better lane. She tried to explain that the machine in the right-hand line was easier.

For some reason, perhaps because someone was questioning his decision, the man started reacting negatively. He began arguing with her, insisting he wouldn’t switch lines. The conversation escalated, and eventually, the agent gave up and left.

A few minutes later, he decided to move to the other line, as mine was slow with the older machine. As he moved, the agent shouted, “Hey, so now you’re moving to the line I suggested earlier,” and he replied, “I’m moving because I don’t want to deal with you.

From a third-person perspective, people watching this could have had very different interpretations. For me, it started with confusion caused by the airport placing the wrong machine in the most prominent line. Then there was the agent’s intention to help. I also tried putting myself in the man’s shoes to understand why he resisted. Maybe, like most humans, he didn’t want his decision questioned. Maybe a smiling face from the agent would have helped him understand her better.

Humans hallucinate and have very complex minds. It’s far beyond comprehension why someone might react a certain way. As we solve problems in this world, thinking with a multi-dimensional mindset can help.

If everyone consciously makes an effort to think from multiple perspectives, it might help create a better world for humanity.
