Moods, Rudes, and 'Tudes

I don't really know what is going on out in the world these days, but whatever it is... we need to fix it. I feel like I've been dealing with bad moods, rude people, and intense attitudes the past month or so. I'm getting tired of dealing with hateful tones and smart comments. What reason is there for it? Why do we deserve to listen to it? To put up with it? I am trying to be a happy person right now, especially in this "blue period" I am experiencing... but I'm not trying to be rude to people. I guess I missed the memo on how to behave this year. If 2013 is going to be filled with this attitude, I think I'm ready to bypass it and move on to 2014.
