Notably: Traffic is like time. It is relative. It is measured according to circumstance, not absolute value. A minute spent in traffic in Manhattan is the blink of an eye compared to a minute spent in traffic in Palm Coast. When my parents lived in Queens I’d drive from Chapel Hill or Beckley, W.Va., to visit them, crossing Manhattan at night, when it was empty. The way back would take me about an hour and a half to cross five or six miles, from Woodside, Queens, to the Jersey side of the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel. Doing so in that much time felt like a breeze. Anything longer would have seemed like a pain. In Palm Coast, a three-minute wait at an intersection–I have in mind the Royal Palms-Town Center Boulevard intersection–can seem insufferable. Why the difference? Aren’t we a bit prickly, a bit unreasonable? (Thomas Mann wrote an 800-page novel, “The Magic Mountain,” to explore the relativity of time that Einstein did in one phrase.) But do Manhattan traffic woes invalidate Palm Coast drivers’ irritations? Not at all. We are not in Manhattan. To compare the two is as absurd as justifying American renditions to Salvadoran dungeons by saying that Salvadorans and other shitholes do it all the time. The standard is not the lowest common denominator of irritation (or injustice). It is the standard we set, the standard we choose for ourselves in our neighborhood, our town (or our country). There’s a parable about this in the Gospel According to Peter somewhere (one of the apocryphal, therefore more authentic, ones) but I’m not up for Aramaic right now.

In fact, our dying is more of a concern to those who survive us than to ourselves; for as a wise man once cleverly put it, as long as we are, death is not, and when death is, we are not.
–From Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain (1924).
