Where is everyone going?
I am sure that no one is driving around during the morning for no reason. They are starting their day, making the world go round. A large number of the people are driving to drop someone off, spouse, friend, kids. Some of the people are making the walk or drive of shame. Other people are off to work, to their office or lab or store or restaurant. Not often do we wonder where the other people around us are going, even less do we wonder how they feel.
What is everyone feeling?
If you are anything like me then you are feeling miserable in the morning. Many people also disagree with Benjamin Franklin, and disdain waking early. Other people couldn't sleep in if they wanted to, trying to sleep in later only to find their eyes wont stay shut.
To me this shows that people are already feeling a wide array of things. They may be grumpy or happy that it is morning. They may be happy to start their day and do what they have to do, or they might dread the day. You cannot tell if someone is going to work or a funeral, a party or a college class.
Why does this matter?
The fact that this matters might not be obvious. The morning by definition is the start of what society perceives as the day. If we can better understand the world at its most volatile time, when people feel so many things for so many reasons, the weight of everything for the next 12 hours on their shoulders, we can better understand ourselves. Research has been conducted over morning interactions time and time again by people and organizations all over the world. Where one goes in the morning sets up their day, in one way or another.
Comment how you believe your mornings matter, and where you go and how you feel in the morning.
