Gotta be kidding...

Recently I made a startling discovery: people do not use their brains in Canada (do not know about US though). But in Canada…cross my heart, I am not kidding. They walk around with super clever and determined expression on their super clean faces, they ready to smile to you with their super white teeth and help you very readily with directions if you ask them. Just please-please, do not ask!!! They will very happily send you into absolutely wrong direction. And if you ask 3 people, be sure, they will send you into absolutely 3 different contradictory directions (I tried believe me). They do not want to tell you very simple words: I do not know. No, they feel better sending you somewhere, as they want to be polite. Even if your destination is just the next street, they will send you across town to completely different place to be sure. Another thing. They always treat you as if you have some sort of a skin disease or made from thin semitransparent glass. They are very careful not to touch you and if you accidentally walk too close to they will sway aside and say sorry, as if they afraid to catch something from you or to break you accidentally. They do not think why they do that. They do not like to think. If they have a problem, they will try to find a specialist and ask his advice. They do not risk their health by not taking medication. If they have as little headache, they would run to the doctor and diligently swallow all prescribed pills even if all they need just a good night sleep. Trouble with spending - call financial advisor, let him rule your financial life for you. Couple of pounds extra? Call diet doctor, he’ll find right diet for you. Cannot find a girlfriend/boyfriend, go to e-harmony, they will find a match for you (at least they claim they do). How much to pay for your happiness? Is somebody selling? I want a piece! They (Canadians) are not trying to find a solution to their problem by themselves; they are looking for somebody to deliver it to them. Please, help us we cannot change our diet, habits, preferences, tastes, routines. We so depressed, give us tons of pills never mind side effects. Diarrhea, insomnia, bleeding, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, that’s okay, as long as no depression, baby! We so scared of depression we have to stop it right away. We cannot think how ridiculous it is. Think? Let somebody else do that for us. And we will drink the solution for our problem like a glass of water, no matter what the price tag to that solution is. Is it fear or laziness, or fright to break the rules or just a bad habit of not thinking? Can they just trust their own judgment? I know there are exceptions, but as a rule they do not want to use their brains for what it suppose to be used: thinking.
Is it that their life is too comfortable, or may be conspiracy of food industry? Or is there something in tap water? I do not know yet. I must find a professional, some specialist, who will help. My brain is not working. Must have eaten something or just becoming a Canadian.
