Walking - normal gait

After discussing walking abnormalities, I suppose it behooves of me to write about walking 'normally'.

It has been raining quite a bit lately, so on the streets, people are walking with certain speed. Contrast this to the languid strolls I saw in Hawai'i. I guess people's inner motivations and socio-cultural context affect their walking (assuming we are talking about normal walkers).

There are those with a swagger too. Those are quite interesting. I don't think people were born to walk with a swagger. That was certainly learnt. Perhaps it shows a certain unease or discomfort with their ego, that they need to compensate with a swagger, to present a confident self despite their current situation.
