Okay- I am going to just say it…I am one of those people who get road rage. My family knows it, and now you do too. Now I don’t just get road rage driving in my car. I get road rage walking through the aisles of Walmart, the grocery store, the mall- you name it. Seriously. I have little to no patience for people who just kind of meander along without even thinking about the people around them who need to get where they are going.
Is my time more valuable or precious than theirs? No, but in turn, their time is no more valuable or precious than mine. So why is it that so many of us have issues with road rage? What exactly is it that causes us to snap when we are being held up by those in front of us? Is it because we feel we are being “wronged” in some way? Because we feel we are being ignored? Or, is it simply because life is so rushed these days that each of us is so exhausted with all the hub-bub that we are basically moving around our world hanging on by the perverbial thread?
Maybe it’s the lack of consideration we feel that the “holder uppers” have for those around them.
OR- is it that we might be, in some way, jealous that the “holder uppers” DON’T feel rushed by life’s pace, and therefore are able to stop and smell the roses?
Things that make you go, “hmmm…”
