--On Population--
Something I had meant to write about but didn't was the fact that there are so many people at Sirena. It's not very nice. Oh, it would be, if they were all mature and/or considerate, but of course they aren't. So we get woken up by Chatty Kathys and people banging around the tent platform, not to mention that the rest of the day is spent surrounded by loud people playing "Would You Rather." The stay would've been significantly more enjoyable if, at a minimum, the number of people that were here could've been other than they were. Of course, that's not possible - things always happen the way they're supposed to. Was there a reason that these people were obnoxious, or was it just a clash of free wills - the simple fact that they can act as they wish and all I can do is resent them for it? No; they're enjoying their trip in the way they want. Just because my idea of a visit to the rainforest is different doesn't make mine right and theirs wrong. And it's not as though they made my stay at Sirena unenjoyable... there were just a few points of contention. All things considered, my complaints against them are pretty trivial. I mean, I'm in the RAINFOREST. How much complaining am I actually allowed to do?
I find myself wishing them a pleasant journey. And I feel better. Isn't that nice? (0738, 9 April)
