Question for the Lama

Dear Your Holiness,

First time writer, long-time listener.

How am I supposed to practice patience and tolerance for people who recklessly zip in and out of traffic lanes during rush hour on Central Expressway, nearly side-swiping my and several other people's cars, thus endangering the lifes of many just because he/she is in a hurry or wants to show off?

Respectfully yours,

Concerned in Dallas

P.S. I enjoy your books!

Lean on your horn, and if the situation warrants, make an obscene gesture. That's what I do.

The hope is that, in some part of their pea-sized brains, these automotive menaces to society will feel a pang of guilt about recklessly endangering my life just so they can shave off twenty seconds from their commute. Maybe, just maybe, they will think twice next time.

And if they don't, well, a good horn honking is at least therapeutic.

No offense to His Holiness, but pateince and tolerance is overrated.

I've slowly been weening myself off of road rage. Instead, I take comfort in imagining the offending reckless driver meeting his or her match by running into a concrete bridge support.

P.S. john_clarke has made a triumphant return to blogging.
