I do agreed with the second quote, each time I started to get angry at these inconsiderate people, I looked at myself and said ‘God, I hope I didn’t do the same thing to others’

I’ll answer this by quotes

Jean Twenge says that

Generation Me has grown up believing it’s more important to ‘do your own thing’ than conform to the group. Unfortunately that also means people of this generation are more likely to be inconsiderate of other people.

but what we should do is

Sometimes when I am driving I get so angry at inconsiderate drivers that I want to scream at them. But then I remember how insignificant that is, and I thank God that I have a car and my health and gas. …

I generally agree with what’s being said here but it’s a bit of a catch 22 isn’t it? What I mean is that yes while we would like people to be more considerate out there in the world we also have to be more patient and be ready to forgive.

By no means an easy thing to do, but yes I agree the cultural (in seemingly western culture especially) stigma of not being considerate needs to change.
