it had rained hard in the city all day, and brandon x was waiting patiently under his umbrella for the bus when a long black limousine passed him, narrowly missing the curb and soaking him with a huge wave of sprayed dirty water.
the driver or owner of the limousine was obviously a person of power who felt no sympathy or fellowship for persons who did not own long black limousines and had to wait for buses or cabs, or just walked from one place to another.
brandon knew that his blood should boil at such injustice, but he had always been a person who played the hand fate -or society - had dealt him, and never complained to the management.
power is bad, he thought dolefully, and i wish i had some.
but i do not, and that is that.

what do you think of brandon’ s attitude?
a) it is my own
b) it is pathetic - he should join some sort of organization to fight injustice, or at least raise his voice in protest or write a letter to a widely circulated publication, or vent his righteous anger on social media.
c) it is contemptible - if he had an ounce of self-respect he would track down the owner of the limousine and kill him - for his own sake and to avenge the downtrodden everywhere.
d) it is irrelevant - human society would not exist if the great mass of its inhabitants did not accept their fates.
e) other (insert)
