The other day I heard someone complain about the way we seem to queue everywhere and the annoying comment was that we queue like children.
I was tempted to tell them that they have been in a queue since conception. Think of it the cells that made you had others before them before they were brought together an fused, If you were lucky you were the first to be born of that queue or came after some other kid beat you you it.
Either way when you were born some one else exited the queue of life and you joined the queue. When you walk into a shop, pay your bills, enter a building, fall in love, switch jobs, earn your pay, sit down for a meal, get hospitalised, move house, drive down the road someone else was probably there before you.
So life is spent in a queue the difference between you and the person ahead of you being defined by time and space.
Eventually when you exit this world someone will take their beloved away and you will take their place in the funeral home and another will be born in your place to join the queue of life.
So next time someone ask you to join a queue don't complain you have been in one all along, it does not therefore hurt to give way, just smile they are in a queue too.
