Rush Hour For Christmas: Save Yourself
The buzz of rush hour is unceasing, and it is one which if care is not taken, appears to have come not just to see but to stay. From steady observation, it has been noted of how people prefer the rush hour or rather prefer to take it more seriously.
This, as well, has led to the deduction that may be it is the view of certainty, of 'oh finally, so this or that would happen'that the eleventh hour presents that reinforces the zeal and spur the preparedness of people for the said occasion. It is the closeness and hence the apt assurance of the eventuality of an event that galvanizes the expectant; and this suddenness is not spurned on just one or two, but on many. The crowds, indeed, are the respondents of the rush hour, and it is their magnitude that makes the rush hour so rushing and immensely inconveniencing.
The Christmas celebration, as with other occasions, is bedeviled with the inconveniences that are the results of having to be reminded of the certainty and the need to prepare by the eleventh hour. And just as it has not been one, two or even a few Christmas marking for many, so also has the accompanying inconveniences of the rush hour not been a few for many more. .
Rush hour is a phrase used to describe the overt willingness and exertion of people to accept an impending situation just to meet up. This exertion is so encompassing that it triggers an outburst of people seeking to meet up for the same thing in a limited time.
The above is aptly the very scenario playing out in this year's Christmas yuletide. The build up to the Christmas proper has seen people flocking to wherever necessary to get the demands necessary for the occasion. They flock uncontrollably to shops, markets, banks, ATMs, and they do so like rushing smoke from a hole. These are things that could have been bought or got with much convenience.
There was a massive rush today in Owerri, one of which the writer was involved. It was the rush for money. Most if not all of the ATMs in town were flooded with people that sought to access their money kept in their various bank accounts. But the reality they met was not as easy as they had thought they'd have their money to themselves.
It was such herculean a task withdrawing, as either there was no money at all or much crowd had swooped on the ones with little fund and which intermittently were reloaded to serve the disenchanted crowd. So it was in Abuja, Lagos and most other areas, of scarcity of funds to meet the ends of the rushing crowd.
Just as recorded, in the rush hour needs are got with much struggle occasioned by competing crowd and at exorbitant prices occasioned by suppliers who seek to have them at their deserved mercy. But we can shy away from such lashes of the rush hour by being proactive in our thinking as to think ahead of any occasion we seek to be involved. We do not have to wait and be reminded of the occasion by the event itself or its nearness.
In ending it here, we must as such prepare before hand, know and get the necessary items before hand, and then we would just sit and watch the inconveniences and the hike and the miseries of the rush hour pass us by. Thus, let's have a good preparation for what should be a happy Christmas!
