Impatience

One of the biggest problems I find in society is that people lack patience. When you have no patience you tend to be easily irritable and angry -- or some say you would have a short fuse. You can see this activity on the road every day while driving to work or to the store. Yes, I'm talking about the idiots you see that don't let you change lanes when you have had your turn signal on for a half a mile or, the people that will tail gate your car because you aren't going "their" speed and they want you to get our of their way. And don't forget the people that must cut every one off and will ride anyones bumper just to get one more car length of distance -- then in turn be sitting next to you at the stop light down the street. These people are so dangerous because they are risking their own lives as well as everyone around them just so they can save two seconds time. This is what I mean about being impatient, people end up being in such a rush that they don't care about anything and they let their emotions control their decisions with absolutely no logic in their actions.

I heard a quote from the movie Cars that has stuck with me and I believe it to be an effective cure for impatient driving. Its when they are looking at the highway and how it used to go through the town and the beautiful scenery, and now it's just a strait road for people to speed on by without even noticing Gods great creations or the friendly little town. They say, "back then, people used to drive to have a good time, not to make good time." If you sit and think about that for a moment and ask yourself when the last time you slowed down while you were driving to look around you and appreciate what God and Man have put together. We live in a beautiful world and I think most people don't even know that.

Next time your on the road, think about having a good time instead of trying to get to wherever it is your going as quickly as possible. When you see the idiots on the road who have no patience or thought process in their brain, just try to avoid them and don't let them get under your skin.
