    There are definitely jerks everywhere. You’re likely to notice them because they’re apt to be disrespectful of your time, space, quietude, etc.

    But the good people are certainly around too. You just might not notice them so easily because they do respect your right to exist independently of their intrusions.

      Exactly. It’s anecdotal but most people I have met in my American life are quietly good people. Their biggest problem is finding the courage to speak up when a loud jerk is doing their thing.
