Opus 2013-294: On the Street: The Right Perspective

I was waiting at a red light watching a cop trying to make a right turn, which is legal after a full stop.  His problem was a pedestrian crossing the street in front of him.  I noticed that the young man in question seemed to be moving very slow.  He was tall and appeared healthy, yet walked with incredible deliberation.  When he finally got across and the policeman went on his way I watched the kid.  When the cop was gone he kept strolling and broke out in a big smile.  If I had been in the place of the cop I would have been doing a slow burn, or a fast one, but since I was an observer I enjoyed the moment.  The cop was frustrated.  The kid was fulfilled.  I enjoyed the drama.

Perspective is important.
