Thinking Happy Thoughts

There was a significant amount of anger on the 6 train this morning. It came late and was packed. For a few seconds, the lights went out. Then, about 5 ft away from me, two women got in a tiff. The woman sitting had way too much anger in her and her language was fairly inappropriate considering her child was sitting next to her. A young, blond girl's bag accidentally touched this woman since the train was packed. The lady sitting yelled at her to move her bag and the blond girl defended herself. The lady sitting called her a bitch and a dumb ass, or something like that. Pretty harsh. I felt like the argument extended beyond boundaries of personal space, into race and social economic tension. Eesh. Way too much drama before 10am.
