Since when I landed in the United State of America (with an almost fake smile verbalizing ‘Welcome to the United States’), I have always wondered about how amazing there Americans are… And about a common tendency always seen in any average American: to leave on the edges of everything…!
I have seldom seen a normalized or averaged pattern of behavior of these people around… I don’t mean to judge good’s and bad’s by saying that, but it’s most certainly extraño… whatever these people tend to achieve, either the goals are abnormal or the means to achieve those are…!
Abundance of everything is probably the best explanation for the facts above… and that’s the same explanation for why these people tend to extremities… when it comes to buying cars, they detest small cars… what everyone wishes for is a monster truck… when it comes to buying clothes, boys don’t wear pink/red/orange like flashy colors and girls don’t prefer the rest… and if someone (like me!) puts on any of those colors unknowingly, people don’t tend to think of this ‘unknowingly’ factor but rather prefer to conclude about extreme sexual orientation of the one… crazy !!
People here don’t often tend to visit their families throughout the year except on Thanksgiving Day… and on that specific day, every person in this country gets crazy to meet his/her family… I don’t understand why do they have to have a special day to meet families… any other day is as good as a Thanksgiving Day… but still that’s the only day most of the parents get to see their children… crazy !!
Sports… and there is no end to this list if we start making “crazy!!” notes on… Supposedly these people don’t tend to enjoy sports which are universally accepted… and more importantly, which look like Sports and not Battles… cause what is appreciated in a game here is not skills or reflexes or anything that goes with a typical sport, but only muscle… So many times I have heard that cricket, soccer, tennis are no-games because people don’t prove their muscles there…! … These people would probably start liking Soccer if Zidane and Figo start kicking each other in balls instead of a soccer ball and penalties are agreed only if one of the players lies unconscious... As crazy as it gets !!
Moral of the story is that this nation has grown extreme in everything… extreme science, extreme cars, extreme sports, extreme machines, extreme culture… there are obviously no good’s and bad’s as I said that can be judges by an outsider like me… more importantly because these extreme habits have often proved survival instincts for them in history… Abundance of resources has always proven to be a root and support to their extreme manners cause its not what they have but they enjoy constitutes the abundance… !
