When on the Road

The manufacturers of automobiles bombard us with advertising that leads us to believe that if we buy their car it will be the fastest, most safe, and most comfortable one on the road. Driving their car, we will be superior to everyone else on the road. We tend to believe it. The problem is that everyone feels that way.

When behind the wheel of a car, we do random acts of kindness when we know and obey ALL the traffic laws. This is the minimum we can do. To really make driving an act of kindness, we must always try to be aware of how our actions may effect others. 

Some time ago, I arrived at work with chest and arm pain that was so bad, I went to a doctor. I was immediately sent to a hospital where I spent a week trying to find the cause. It was not a heart attack and no cause could be found. On my next trip to the office, the pain started to return. I was in the left lane of a three lane expressway, and upset about the slowness of the driver in front of me. I moved to the right, slowing down as needed, turned on some soothing music and the pain went away. I was not late for work.

Avoid stress ... Be nice!
A single trip in your car can provide for multiple Random Acts of Kindness. If nothing else, your reward may be your own relief from stress.

 

 

Kindness

Be More Kind than You Need to Be ...

You are invited to perform acts of kindness whenever the opportunity presents itself. Help to make this world a better place. Some examples are recorded on this page. I will add to them as they are brought to mind
