Waiting for rain to stop

I like when it rains in a public plaza and everyone stops trying to go wherever they are going and wait. Some do nothing and watch the rain and some do nothing on their phones and some do nothing and chat with the person next to them.

Everyone is so different from me but I sometimes wish I could freeze people and hold them still like this, so they remain simple and similar to me and each other.

I know we’ve been trying to make the world a better place for a long time but I wonder if we’ve already reached it, then passed by it altogether.
