It's a reminder that we're all in it for ourselves first and foremost. I don't smile. I usually just give a nod of acknowledgement, if they ask I say, "sorry, man." and keep walking. Usually feeling guilty knowing I could go pull out a twenty and still pay the rent. But I know they've already forgotten about me and I'll soon forget about them and we're still floating through space and it's fucking hard to get along no matter where you are.
