Inconsiderate Universe

It's kinda hard to describe this visually...
...but...
...the road we take from our house runs straight on at/towards the big road we take to go everywhere... (ya?)... and at the point of intersection the big road turns off to the right and follows the hillside... (ok)... whereas if they were to go straight onto our smaller road they would go down the hill... (huh?)...
...This means that when we drive up the hill to get to the main road our car has to wait on an incline before making the turn..
... and this means that every car coming at us gets our headlights elevated about 15 degrees and assumes that we have our brights on...
... and THIS means that every car that passes us while we're waiting to turn flashes their brights at us...
... AND THIS means I think nasty thoughts about... the Universe or something... you know!?... because who's at fault really?... the hill?... (well in truth maybe the contractor)... but it's the system...

...it's a situation of misinformation and intractibility that inadvertantly caused such an aggregious miscarriage of justice when both actors, within a similar set of moral principles, according to their limited knowledge and abilities over the situation, malign the other...

... like... we both acted the way we should (or had to)... the rules of the road all agree that if I DID have my brights on that they SHOULD flash my car... so in their mind they're right... but I, with the greater knowledge, know I'm in the right... either way we both got more light in our eyes than we should have and both feel hurt... and in turn feel anger... and in turn a desire to cause hurt in the name of justice... otherwise known as retribution...
... and ya it's small... and in this case it's not worth it to do something like flash my brights (blinding them and potentially causing worse damage)... or chase them down and try to explain Pythagorus theory of angles to them with the help of my middle fingers... so I take that little small flash of lights and pass it off as just one of life's little injustices... but I tell you wars have been started with all people acting in the right when it becomes coupled with inadvertent miscommunication and/or misinformation.. it's eventual outcome of hurt.. it's offspring of anger.. and its eventual cycle of retribution...
... like... in the awful thing that is the news... who is at fault in Israel?... language and cultural barriers is a start... scarcity of land and resources plays a role... all of the above and everything is probably the best answer... but how DO you fight a situation where everyone involved is acting exactly the way they think they should?... it's one of those Hobbsian situations where, everyone acting in the right according to their set of rules, is forced into conflict anyways... and it's easier to accept injustice and fight... than try to make it better at the risk of death (if the other side doesn't play along)...
... Because on the one side constantly fighting for vengeance is not going to work... It didn't help either the Montague's or the Capulet's... niether did it help the mob bosses in the Godfather... not to trivialize reality into a play... but to draw on an ultimate reality of the consequences of revenge... pain, hurt, anger, strife... and where does it stop?... it's like fighting fire with fire...
... but on the other side backing down might be worse... because if you back down and be the bigger person the other guy might just walk all over you.. in the case of a war maybe kill you.. (see most of the history of the human race, most recently WWII and Hitler, which, inadvertently is the prime cause for this present conflict)... so either way you're screwed... and what kind of messed up Universe is it that has a built in Catch-22?...
... how do humans cope with it all?... maybe in some sort of weird dissociative way we play a toned down version of this in our culture with sports... two teams with no real animosity towards each other are forced into conflict because of the situation that only one team can win... you play by the rules.. do what we're supposed to do... and it naturally progresses, from no real animosity towards the other person outside the rink, to enemies... and the repeated ritual within the regulated and relatively more safe arena of sports lets us accept the situation of strife and dissociate it from it's history of animosity and violence... maybe that's why we shake hands after the whole thing is over...
... Or maybe sports is a way to train the next generation of children exactly how to compete and overcome in a society with limited resources...
... Either way I think it's a little messed up?... isn't there any way we could design a system whose natural outcome didn't place people at odds with each other?... and idolizing sports is probably not the best way of getting our minds thinking on the right track?... just saying...
... But so... in the system we have... we won our game against Pontebba at Pontebba 9-5... it took a little luck and the fact that they had their backup goalie in because their regular goalie was hurt... And even though we won there was nothing about that game that was all that pretty that could tell us we can win on skill... and nothing about the game that you could say it was a greasy, hard-nosed road win that could tell us we're ready for playoffs... it was simply nothing... with 9 bad goals... and 5 bad goals against... and a win...
