Driving

I am the kind of person that is really hard to make angry or mad. Sometimes I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Anyways, I come to realize after recently answering a questionnaire what really makes me angry or mad. There are only few things that I can recall now. The first one, having someone that snores next to me, that really, but really bothers me a lot! The next one, when I plan something, and don’t end up as I was expecting, and the last one, people that drive slow in front of me. The last one is the most common and I see it very often, I think more than I would like.

I know, I really need to slow down my driving, I recognize that I drive fast, but there are some people that need to recognize that they drive way too slow. This week, I was driving in a road where the maximum speed was 45. I usually go faster than that in those roads. I was on time, but if I slow down I could be late. Usually, when I am in hurry is when I find this kind of people that likes to go slow in front of me and usually in a one-way road. The person in front of me was going about 30-35 miles, but was not only that the person was going 30-35 miles, I guess he/she realize that I was trying to hurry up so it slow down to 25 miles and starts breaking without reason I guess just want to make me stop. He/she did not have anyone in front and still keep breaking. At last the person stop completely in the lane to turn right. There was a long line of cars behind me.

What was wrong in this picture? First, I need to get out earlier from my house so I would not be late or close to be late. Second, I need to slow down, and third, well I have to point at the car in front of me. The bible says that we should treat and love our neighbors how we would like to be love and treated. I wonder if this nice person in front of me were late, he/she would like to find someone that did to him/her what he/she did to me? I have to confess that I use to do things like that in the past. I guess because I see in other people and I learned, but as adult with my own thinking and believes, I change that. If I have a car that is literally pushing my car with his/her car, I just pull off and let it pass. Why I need to have the power over others? Why I need to do harm? Why I need to be conflictive with others? The person behind us might be a foolish, or might need to use the bathroom or is in a really emergency. We don’t know what is their problem, but we love to judge other.

¹³ Think of them highly with love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. ¹⁴ Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are disorderly. Comfort the discouraged. Help the weak. Be patient with everyone. ¹⁵ Make sure no one repays a wrong with a wrong, but always pursue the good for each other and everyone else.
