@SQUEEKY2 – Everyone – including you and me – will have a handful of moments on the road where we screw up. We’ll be the “idiot” to someone. The odds are, that since we all have a few of these moments in our life, you will not be able to drive anywhere without sharing the road with someone have one of their moments. It’s inevitable.
But you drive for a living, correct? You’re voluntarily exposing yourself to many hours of people having their screw-up moments in your presence. It seems to me that you have a couple of choices: A) find an office job that you can walk to, or B) find a way of looking at your experience in a way that doesn’t cause you to suffer.
If you decide to go with (B), you could start with the fact that you’re probably just seeing the rare driving screwups, and that these people are generally decent drivers. Then, you try to nurture some compassion (see my response here). Seeing drivers as people can go a long way in alleviating your suffering.
But if you really are committed to the belief that everyone else in the world is suffering from imperfection – and that you are not – then you are dedicating yourself to a life of extreme pain.
